We received your letter dated 2/12/02 and are enclosing copies of the following environmental hazardous assessments in response to your request: • OCT Environmental Advisory, Inc. reports dated 9/28/01 covering the lobby, rental office, gym and apt PHL (ALL apartments in the building were assessed by OCI and all resultant reports were identical to the enclosed apt PHL. These assessments were made subsequent to abatement work performed on the property by Abatement International Advatex Associates, Inc. shortly after 9111. (9/26 invoice attached.) • GCI Environmental Advisory, Inc. report dated 12/21/01 covering the noted public areas -

In addition to the abatement and professional assessment of building contamination noted above, the following cleanup activities were successfully carried out in a timely manner. Steam clean, filter change all HVAC units in all apartments. Hepa vacuum all apartment HVAC sleeves prior to reinstallation of cleaned HVAC units. Hepa vacuum all window tracks. Power wash 100% building exterior, including roof and terrace areas. Hepa vacuum all public corridors and common areas. Change filters and clean all non-apartment HVAC units. Power washed the grounds in front and in back of the building. Thoroughly washed or replaced as needed plants, planters and planting bed materials inside and outside the building.

During the months following the attack, we monitored the testing results posted on the EPA web site relative to our building location. We are continuing to assess the condition of our building exterior and HVAC units for cleanliness related to the 9/11 terror attack and are ready to address any serious, revealed health concerns.
