A city employee recently hired to be a housing inspector was promptly fired after city officials discovered he is a registered sex offender in New York.
“He’s no longer employed with the city,” said Mayor Gary McCarthy on Tuesday.

I feel so bad for this poor guy. I can truly sympathize with him.
How does one leave a comment?
It was a demeaning and menial job to begin with, yet he STILL got fired.
This way to the ovens.. it’s only civil and regulatory.
And remember… it’s not punitive!
That is a wrongful termination lawsuit right there.
They hired him without a criminal background check. They also didn’t ask about his criminal history on the application. He was hired.
They let him go immediately following getting information by vigilantes who thought he shouldn’t be working there. If I were him, i’d be finding a good lawyer right about now to go after those who alerted the employer for creating a situation where one didn’t exist, costing him his job, as well as going after the city for wrongful termination.
I believe this might be a good case.
I hate to hear this happening to this guy and am going to add it to my motion as evidence of the punitive nature of the registry but it does say he lied on his application if not directly then by his omission when he didn’t mark the conviction in the app. Unfortunately that is legally a justified reason for termination..I think it’s totally unjustifiable myself and really feel for the guy but I bet unless he challenges the registry and sues the people responsible for putting him on the registry and implying he is a danger to the public then there is no legal action against the county simply because he did not reveal his conviction in the application…this is just more evidence of the punitive nature of the registry though…
Mayor sounds really proud of his decision to keep this guy out.
Registry Rage, you’re so right with this statement…..
