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 Proctection’s complaint center at 1-718-DEP-HELP (3? 7-4357).

Emergency situations which arise outside of these time fi-ames will be handled by help center staff taking down the caller’s name and contact phone number and notify 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 drained from the cellar, flushed, cleaned -"filled and plumbing systems flushed before having the building reoccupied.
