Authorities later questioned De Le\u00f3n for several hours that same day at police headquarters downtown. De Le\u00f3n was not arrested and he was released after the interview.<\/p>\n<p>WOAI&#8217;s Brian Collister reported in February that San Antonio police were investigating building inspectors in the same city department. The inspectors check residential and commercial structures, and inspect things like electrical systems and plumbing. If the building isn&#8217;t up to code, the inspector is supposed to tag the flaw and the owner is supposed to fix it. The city is investigating whether inspectors took money to sign off on work that wasn&#8217;t up to city code.<\/p>\n<p>Friday&#8217;s development added a new wrinkle to this story &#8212; it was the first sign that the FBI is investigating the city department. And De Le\u00f3n oversaw land development, not building inspections. His name is tied to hundreds, if not thousands, of development plans that govern things like lot densities of subdivisions and tree preservation requirements. De Le\u00f3n held an important position in a city that is grappling with the growing pains of urban sprawl. Here&#8217;s the city&#8217;s description of his responsibilities:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The Land Development Division is involved with the review and approval process of Master Development Plans (MDPs), Plats, Tree Preservation, Infrastructure, Traffic Impact Analysis (TIAs), and Zoning.  The Construction and the Environmental Inspectors assist the Division in the field. The Land Development Division serves as staff to the Planning Commission, Zoning Commission and Board of Adjustments.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>District Attorney Susan Reed said investigators are examining \u201cirregularities in the permitting process\u201d that De Le\u00f3n oversaw.<\/p>\n<p>I last bumped into De Le\u00f3n in February when I was at Development Services covering <a href=\"https:\/\/johntedesco.net\/blog\/2010\/02\/10\/san-antonio-builders-must-check-all-retaining-walls-built-in-past-three-years\/\">the retaining wall collapse<\/a> at the Hills of Rivermist.

The city got involved in October, when the Office of Municipal Integrity received a complaint about the four building inspectors.<\/p>\n<p>When that office determined it was a criminal matter, it turned the case over to the city manager&#8217;s office, which in turn handed it over to the Police Department, officials said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, federal authorities were quietly conducting their own inquiry. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe did cross paths,\u201d [Police Chief William] McManus said. \u201cWe partnered up.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For longtime observers of local politics, the terms &#8220;City Hall&#8221; and &#8220;FBI&#8221; conjure memories of a bribery investigation that snared former city councilmen Enrique Martin and John Sanders.
