I think a better way of going about this problem is to have some sort security requirement that the developer must provide for a fixed term after the project completion. You could think of it like what the province requires of new industrial projects. They must give the government a huge amount of security in case they go tats up and walk away. At leaset then, there is money to reclaim the site. I can think of a few cons to this plan but it certainly goes a long way to solving the problems that have cropped up because of these poorly constructed condos.
I don't think that more inspectors will necessarily do anything to alleviate these problems. They can't be there 24/7 el cheapo outfits will always find a way to save money and go the easy route.
