Boston Building Bill Aims to Curb Unqualified Builders
A proposed Boston bill would let the City Council set qualifications for building trades and possibly require an examining commission. It seeks to issue permits only to those who pass examinations, with support from city officials and expectations of swift legislative action. The Massachusetts Real Estate Exchange urged more inspectors, architect and contractor registration, and a six member committee to propose amendments. Building Inspector Curry blamed a Monday floor collapse on overloading for construction.
