Greendale PD warns residents of caller identifying as building inspector

GREENDALE -- Greendale police are alerting residents about a potential scam.

Officials say a Greendale resident received a phone call from someone who identified himself as a building inspector with the Village of Greendale Inspection Department. The subject apparently reported to the resident that he needed to re-inspect their roof for a permit being pulled. The resident told the subject they had already replace their roof, did not need a permit, and hung up on the subject.



Officials say Greendale officials do not inspect roofing permitted jobs -- and do not seek out inspections unless requested or there is a code violation reported.
