RE; Asbestos Condition at 105 Duane Street, NY, NY 10007
Building Owner. Related Management Company, LP.
Dear Department of Environmental Protection,
This letter is a formal notification of a complaint with regards to a high level of asbestos
contamination at 105 Duane Street, New York, New York. Proper asbestos methods as
required by law and regulation are not being utilized'. We require immediate action due
to postpone any work on the ventilation system in that building which is to begin on
Wednesday, December 12, 2001. A survey was porfoi'med on December 3'", 2001 by
Edward Olmsted, CIH. CSP.
The collapse ci the World Trade Center buildings caused the release of dust and
debris containing asbestos. The asbestos containing debris was spread throughout the
collapse site and around the surrounding neighborhood. Other contaminants were also
spread through the neighborhood. Many of these contaminants including the asbestos
settled on surfaces and were drawn into building through the ventilation system. This
survey was made to determine the level of asbestos in dust in the level of asbestos in dust
in the dust in the 10"' floor apartment and halfway of the building.
'e Several residents of the building and myself noticed that tote hallway air grilles were
removed for cleaning. In their place, management placed plastic ard paper products to
supposedly provide professional protection which wore applied Ir each a manner that many.
were found to have fallen off within 24 hours of application. See picture.
