(Davenport, IA) -- A Davenport resident is suing the city saying a city building inspector told him that he let builders of as many as nearly 400 homes sign his name on inspection approvals.

Jonathan Uhl says his family has had several issues with their home including two fires related to electrical issues, and sewer gas leaks.

He says the contractor who built his home told him he had an inspector in his back pocket.

Uhl accuses the city of corruption and cover-ups in the building department over several years.

The city says it is reviewing the lawsuit.
