Where were Lexington building inspectors?

The news article about the shoddy construction and apparent code violations at CenterCourt neglected to mention how the negligence and shortcuts were overlooked by Lexington building inspectors.

In the absence of oversight, what happened is inevitable, and the violations that occurred there have been observed at other Lexington development sites. Who were the inspectors? Who were their supervisors? And how could this have happened?
