One lingering effect of Hurricane Sandy over two weeks ago is a shortage of contractors?many of whom lost power themselves or are generally overbooked?and of building inspectors to approve restaurant construction. Sea Fire Grill in Midtown East, for example, was due to be inspected the day Sandy hit but continues to wait for the Department of Buildings. Co-owner Benjamin Prelvukaj says he has 40 employees waiting to start working. [Crain's]
