Chicago Building Department approves 28 buildings by dead architect

According to this story Chicago Tribune | The case of the busy, deceased architect, the Chicago Building Department approved plans for 28 building projects which were submitted by an architect who died in 1993. The plans were actually drawn up by a draughtsman who'd worked for the architect, based on plans originally created by the architect. The draughtsman now faces a USD$250,000 fine.
