A D.C. government ethics probe found that Caroline Lian, the deputy director for the city’s Department of Buildings, had been working for Freddie Mac the entire time she was employed with the District, which she failed to disclose.
It also found that Lian underreported her salary for her separate position as a member of the Falls Church City Council and attended more than 10 council meetings while reporting a full day of work for DOB.
Rashee Raj, the general counsel for D.C.’s Board of Ethics and Government Accountability, told Bisnow in an email that a confidential complaint had prompted the agency to look into the matter.
Lian didn’t respond to a request for comment.
BEGA fined Lian $25K in an Aug. 1 settlement agreement, a result of the investigation. She has resigned from her Department of Buildings position, a DOB spokesperson told Bisnow in an email. The Washington Post first reported her resignation.
