Since January, the Bureau of Environmental Compliance has been conducting surveys of
building roofs, facades and setbacks. There are two geographical phases of the project:
Phase 1: East to West = West of Broadway to the Hudson River
North to South = Chambers Street to Battery Place
Phase 2: East to West = Pearl Street to Broadway
North to South = Brooklyn Bridge to Beaver Street
Approximately 452 buildings have been surveyed. All building owners in the above outlined
areas have been requested to submit to DEF, details of their clean-up efforts and activities. DEP
staff is reviewing the submitted data and is conducting follow-up inspections where needed.
There is additional outreach being done to owners who have not responded to letters and phone
calls. To date 259 reports and letters have been received from the owners c. owner
representatives of these properties. Based on visual surveys and the most stringent assessment
and evaluation, DEP and its contractors (under the guidance of EPA and with OSHA oversight
for worker safety) will conduct cleanup of those buildings identified as still having residual
debris on their building from the WTC. DEP will reach out to as many building organizations as
possible to explain how the cleanup will be conducted and gamer their support.
