Governmental immunity
Linda Kasprzak appeals from a summary judgment order granted in favor of the City of Waukesha that dismissed Kasprzak’s claim for damages. Kasprzak contends that the circuit court erred in concluding that a City of Waukesha housing inspector had the authority and discretion to stop construction and not to approve the permit for the construction of a detached garage on Kasprzak’s property. The circuit court held that because the housing inspector’s decision was discretionary, governmental immunity applied and the City could not be held liable. We affirm the circuit court’s summary judgment order. Affirmed. This opinion will not be published.
