Mr. Robert C. Avaltroni John New York City Department of Environmental Protection 59-17 Junction Boulevard, 11th floor Corona, New York 11368 rc Paul Ho+ftz • Jo Maroon Re: Southbridge Towers, -Inc/80 Gold StJ 55-Fulton St/ Foot Locker John Ost cactiPecMid MAe Perrone Dear Mr. Avaltoni: Loly s Lads Ttazino usa Yig I would first lice to mention that it was a pleasure meeting you at the USEPA office on Friday, an3ao►Emc May 31. As you may recall, although the meeting was called for the individual apartment clean- Lads oeSst o up program under development by the EPA, I was concerned that the interior of the buildings • Charles Gakm were being cleaned while the exterior facades were not. We at Southbridge (SBT) were notified by your office that only one out of ten buildings was scheduled for facade cleaning. To add insult to injury, that building is the only non-residential building we have which is occupied by Foot Locker and Burger King. I did ask if SBT would be able to obtain the test results preformed by the Board of Health on our buildings that led to the determination of only the one commercial building qualifying. I would much appreciate if you would provide me with the copies of the test results or a contdct that may be able to provide the information.

Also, the license agreement includes a reimbursement provision if compensation is received by the building. In light of the fact that SBT is currently in dispute with our insurer with respect to the facade cleaning, and that no deadline for acceptance of the license agreement was established, I respectfully request time to have our counsel review the agreement and to be able to make a decision only after our insurance claim is resolved.

In the meantime, I am attaching a copy of a letter sent to Mr. Rradhakrishnan, PE on behalf of. SBT for your reference. As you will see, our concern is that all our residential buildings were subjected to the same amount of dust as the one commercial buidling.

Looking forward to hearing from you. Your courtesy and attention is much appreciated.

Sincerely -~

Toni D'Egidio General Manager
