District: Inspector now under FBI investigation

The FBI is investigating a top D.C. building inspector who was accused of being involved in a bribery scheme that already has resulted in the conviction of one former city official, according to documents filed Monday by the D.C.’s Attorney General’s Office.

Juan Scott, the supervisor of the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs’ construction inspections unit, had been placed on administrative leave last year and ordered to turn in his law enforcement badge after he was accused by developers of conspiring with former DCRA building official Yaw Oteng-Agipong to extort a bribe from them.
