So if the building was completed, accident-free, no officials would question how it build without the proper crane permits?

In some cases, they do not even notice that a few extra storeys have been added until several years later, so they would hardly be expected to bother about the way in which the crane was used or whether it had the appropriate permits. Turning a blind eye to this sort of thing can make a lot of people wealthy.

Always love those kinds of news reports  --  BMA discovers a decade later than a hotel or apartment that was supposed to be 8 stories has instead been built to 15 stories...  And somehow, they managed to never notice.

Looking at the picture, it must have hurt like hell with broken bones being lowered in a harness. 

Yeah, not good at all
