In the third such case in less than a week, another newly hired building inspector who boasted union clout resigned Tuesday after Chicago officials alleged he embellished his resume.
David Marino, 49, stated on his application that he had worked for a construction company for two years.
“Upon review, we discovered that he had only worked there for two weeks,” Buildings Department spokeswoman Breelyn Pete said.
In his application for the $49,548-a-year post, Marino claimed membership in Carpenters Union Local 13.
The influential union has been at the center of the burgeoning scandal at City Hall.
Reports surfaced last week that the sons of two high-ranking Carpenters Union officials allegedly falsified applications to meet minimum city requirements to get their jobs.
Andrew Ryan, 19, and Kevin Sexton, 23, resigned after their work and training credentials could not be verified.
Those revelations prompted the city to vet the applications of the other 14 inspectors in the new crop of hires.
Officials said they also suspect another newly hired inspector of falsifying his application, but Pete said she could not yet confirm that allegation Tuesday evening.
The information in seven of the 16 applications has proved true, she said, and officials continued to check six other resumes. They expected to complete their investigation Wednesday.
Marino had begun working as a building inspector in July, Pete said. He could not be reached for comment Tuesday.
