Florida man Enrique Fernandez Jr. allegedly wielded his late father’s credentials to rubber-stamp 724 Miami-Dade and Broward building inspections, baffling anyone asking ‘Can you use a dead person’s license?’ or ‘How do fake inspectors get caught?’ JEM Inspections, Winmar Construction, and others received reports signed by a man six years underground, while the county quietly stacked up $3.6 million in fines. Fernandez Jr. insists, “It wasn’t fraud.”

While Miami’s towers now stand on spectral signatures, WPLG Local10’s 2024 exposé revealed Fernandez Jr. even renewed his father’s expired license to keep the ruse alive, spurring search queries like ‘How are building licenses verified?’ and ‘What happens if an inspector is an imposter?’ Engineers unwittingly hired a medium, not a mechanic. One can only imagine the planning meetings: ‘Can ghosts pass building codes?’

Nine-story buildings in South Florida were officially certified by a man who had technically been unavailable for staff meetings since 2018, yet no criminal charges have materialized.
