Center towers was observed on the exterior surfaces of the building.
Robert C. Avaltroni
Deputy Commissioner
You have been previously contacted with regard to participating in DEP's Lower
Bureau of Manhattan Building Cleaning Program. Under this program, contractors retained by
Environmental DEP will clean all exterior building surfaces affected by World Trade Center debris
Compliance
at no cost to the building owner.
Tel (718) 595.4418
Fax(718)595-4422 The Building Cleaning Program is now drawing to a close, and we have yet to
5 DSI 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.
