| Building Without Permits Loveland's Chief Building Inspector accused of capricious enforcement of building codes after friend is reported building without permits and no enforcement action is taken |
| “PS still waiting to find out who our stool pigeon is.” Email sent 5/13/11 from Roger Kenney (building owner accused of building without a city permit) to his friend Loveland Chief Building Inspector Thomas Hawkinson. Hawkinson involved the city attorney's office after a "Robert Phillipps" refused to provide his work address and phone number to the city after turning Kenney into the city for building without a permit. Roger Kenney is the owner of 209 4th Street in Loveland and also proprietor of the architectural firm Kenney Associates at the same location. "Kenney (Roger) suggested I speak with you how to proceed. I have not inspected the property as yet so don't know if the complaint holds any credence..." Email on 2/11/11 from Mary Shann (city code enforcement officer) to Tom Hawkinson regarding her discovery that Roger Kenney, as reported by Phillipps, did not have a building permit at the time. Incredibly, Loveland's code enforcement officer fails to investigate the complaint in person but instead takes direction from the alleged violator who instructs her to check with her boss (his friend) Tom Hawkinson on how to proceed. |
