Things You Don’t Want In Your Personnel File Include . . .

. . . a note saying you lied about inspecting something you were supposed to inspect but didn’t and then that thing you were supposed to inspect ended up killing several people:

A city inspector, charged with ensuring the safety of the giant crane whose catastrophic collapse killed seven people last Saturday, admitted that he lied about checking the equipment, authorities said yesterday.

Edward J. Marquette, 46, of Hell’s Kitchen, was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court yesterday on counts of falsifying business records and filing a false instrument that could bring a four-year prison term.

. . .

Marquette was released without bail.

He was assigned to inspect the crane at 303 E. 51st St. on March 4 after a retired building contractor reported to 311 the crane did not appear to be properly attached to the building.

“Caller states crane does not appear to be braced to the building. There are only tie-backs on five or six floor[s], but upper part which is 100 feet up is unsecured,” a Buildings Department complaint form said.

Marquette filed a report stating he inspected the crane and found it safe.

“No violation warranted for complaint at time of inspection,” he reported.
