Following complaints from the previous inspector about not having enough hours or resources, the Berne Town Board agreed to split the job into two building-inspector positions.

Organizational meetings in Rensselaerville and Westerlo and Rensselaerville included both resignations and appointments.

A Freedom of Information Law request has revealed missing records of building-inspection reports for 2016 in the town of Knox. Despite this, permits were issued during that year. The town is now formulating policies to record these inspections.

Voorheesville and Altamont share a building inspector. Their newly extended agreement has Altamont paying 14 percent since it uses just five of the 35 weekly hours. Voorheesville is roughly twice the size of Altamont with a bit less than twice the population.
