Dear Sir/ Madam:
Deputy Commnissioner
Bureau of The New York City Department of Environmental Protection in cooperation with
Environmental Compliance
Tel (718) 595-4418 the New York State Department of Labor and the United States Environmental
Fax (718) 595-4422 Protection Agency has continued inspections/surveys of buildings in the vicinity of
the World Trade Center.
During the recent inspections/surveys, visible debris from the collapse of the
Towers was observed on the roof of the above referenced building. In accordance
with previously issued guidelines, copies of which are enclosed, these
accumulations must be assessed by a NYC DEP certified investigator to determine
whether the material is asbestos-containing material and then cleaned up
appropriately.
Building owners are responsible for the cleaning of building exteriors, grounds, and
common area. Due to changing conditions and continued activity at Ground Zero,
building owners should periodically assess the condition of building exteriors and
air conditioning systems for cleanliness and may have to periodically re-clean
areas. Adherence to proper cleaning methods is important for the protection of
public health and the environment.
If you have any questions, you may reach the Department at (718) 595-3682 during
office hours or the 24-hour Help Center at (718) DEP-HELP.
Sincerely,
