Building Maintenance Issues Involved in Reopening Buildings Closed Since Tuesday
Air Circulation Systems: Building owners are advised that air circulation systems not operated since Tuesday must have their filters replaced before the system is restarted. Systems should be run on a recirculated air setting and not on fresh air, if possible, until the WTC fire is extinguished.
Asbestos or other Hazardous Materials situations: Owners/managers should have possible contamination problems, indoors or at roofs, reviewed by competent professionals (i.e., R.A.s, P.E.s, Asbestos Inspectors, etc.) prior to beginning clean-up of buildings with maintenance personnel. Where no problems are noted, proceed with clean-up. Where problems (i.e., HazMat) are noted, contact DEP as indicated below.
All issues regarding air asbestos and/or hazardous material clean-up should be directed to the Department of Environmental Protection's complaint center at 1-718 DEP- HELP (337-4357). Help center operators will refer your call to Asbestos and Hazardous Materials staff from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. every day including weekends until such time as the Mayor^s office declares the emergency over. Staff will review each case individually on the telephone and verbally approve clean-up activities—paperwork to follow. Emergency situations which arise outside of these time frames will be handled by help center staff taking down the caller-^s name and contact phone number and notifying personnel on stand-by who will then contact the caller directly.
Open Water tanks: Building owners are advised that water tanks not operated since Tuesday must be completely
