Internal departmental response declining DEP involvement in private property transaction disputes outside the EPA cleanup program scope and establishing referral procedures.
signed by Duane Street Associates, the owner with an unnamed buyer. For
that reason, among others, counsel want to insure that no liens or
violations are placed on the buildings as a result of the work that will
performed by the cleaning and monitoring contractors.
At the conclusion of the meeting counsel said that they would like to
bring their contract concerns to someone at a high level at NYCDEP to
advocate for the proposed contract language they want. In sum, Goodman
suggested that the language in the city contract provide that any lien
on the property filed by a subcontractor or materialman be satisfied
within 30 days by the contractor. As to liens on the property filed by
the contractor on the property, he would like the City to discharge the
lien within 30 days or failing to do so, pay the legal expenses of the
property owner if the matter is litigated.
For violations that are filed by the City or other agency on the
property due to the activities of the contractors, they were seeking to
get violations removed promptly and indemnification for their expenses.
They wanted to formally incorporate the information in the fact sheets
by reference into the consent to access forms, and we said the language
in the consent forms could be changed.
Ms. Dolan requested information about the facade inspection made by the
City three weeks ago, and after the meeting Mike told me that he would
get that information to her.
The attorneys recognize that the residents want the cleanup, and the IPN
owner is "between a rock and a hard place." Finally, I told them that
the issue of what would be done about carpet removal in the common areas
at IPN was as yet undeternined by the City.
