Commissioner Dear Mr. Joel Koeppel:
I am writing with regard to 174 BROADWAY which was inspected by DEP on
03/23/02. During this inspection, debris from the collapse of the World Trade
Robert C. Avaltroni Center towers was observed on the exterior surfaces of the building.
Deputy Commissioner
Bureau of You have been previously contacted with regard to participating in DEP's Lower
Environmental Manhattan Building Cleaning Program. Under this program, contractors retained by
Compliance
DEP will clean all exterior building surfaces affected by World Trade Center debris
Tel (718) 595-4418 at no cost to the building owner.
Fax (718) 595-4422
The Building Cleaning Program is now drawing to a close, and we have yet to
receive a response from you regarding your participation. If you do not participate
in the Program, the building will be scheduled for another DEP inspection in the
near future. If that inspection shows that there is still visible debris from the World
Trade Center on the exterior of the building, samples will be collected. If laboratory
analysis of these samples shows that the debris is asbestos-containing material, you
will then be issued a Commissioner's Order directing you to retain a contractor to
clean the exterior of the building. Such cleaning would be at your expense, and
failure to comply with the Commissioner's Order could result in the issuance of
notices of violation carrying penalties of up to $10,000 per day.
You are strongly urged to take advantage of the Building Cleaning Program. A
blank License Agreement has been attached for your convenience. Please fill in the
appropriate information and sign and return the form as soon as possible.
If you have any questions, please call 718-595-3682 during office hours, or the 24-
hour Help Center at 718-DEP-HELP. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
