department has made the re quired inspections and cleared part of the building and one floor of the garage for occupan cv inspections are done in stages as the building is erected and usually at the request of the owner he said Rates also said he would review the inspection forms and determine whether the city should act on the residents complaint within the next few days Alderman Dorian Parker Ward said Tuesday council must accept part of the respon sibility for the buildings condi tion and act as quickly as possible on the problem ALDERMAN CRITICIZES Alderman Ernie Rotman Ward was more critical think perhaps this will teach us all lesson he told council Rotman suggested the finan cial ability of the developer should have been questioned when the project first came up in 1973 Other council members said Rotman was making more of the problem than there is The building they argued could still be filled and become benefit to the city There is so much money in vested in the building
