Environmental with pre-existing conditions.
Compliance
Tel (718) 595-4418 An enormous effort was made on your behalf by DEP and FEMA, however, the
Fax (718) 595-4422 scope of work developed for the Exterior Clean-Up Program cannot be changed to
accommodate the pre-existing condition of your building.
Additionally, according to FEMA's review of your building insurance records,
your insurance company paid monies to you for a clean up. You are responsible
for your building and must undertake a clean up of your exterior at the earliest
date possible. DEP will expedite any filing that may be required to undertake this
clean up and assist in any manner possible. The DEP has already reached out to
the New York City Landmarks Commission and the New York City Department
of Transportation and will provide you with contact information. Please be
advised that failure to undertake the necessary clean-up may result in the issuance
of a Commissioner Order for a clean-up and may result in penalties. Your
assistance and resolution of this matter is greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions, please contact my office at (718) 595-3721.
