Subject: asbestos
Despite DEP's frequent attempts, there is still no definitive resolution
regarding the single finding by ATSDR of >1% asbestos inside of an apartment
(90 Gold Street) (Jessica/Nancy—Was the original sample by microvacc or
bulk?). The landlord has indicated that the apartment was cleaned subsequent
to the test, but DEP has been unable to gain access to the apartment to do
an inspection (details will be provided by DEP re the landlord’s name and
contact info, and a summary of DEP’s efforts).
Dr Frieden has indicated that we need closure on this apartment, in that it
is the only residential space in the ATSDR study with greater than 1%
asbestos present at the time their testing occurred. What are DOH's options
in gaining access? DEP is available to accompany DOH when we gain access,
and DEP will conduct an inspection. The inspection may confirm that there is
no visible dust present on which an asbestos test can be done, at which
point, this location can be officially classified as resolved.
