The occupant of the 33 st property we bought, rezoned to multi-family, and are about to submit a three unit row house project for recently vacated. Seems to be a great time to get the demolition sorted out. Step one was get the demo permit paperwork and service disconnects submitted at City hall.
Step two is the asbestos sampling. This is where luck plays a major role. The sampling crew stopped by and we had a good look at the house. Good news is the attic only had a layer of sawdust covered with pink insulation. No problem there. Most of the flooring was wood or newer linoleum, again that is harmless for disposal. The lab work will now determine what is actually going to have to be remediated. The usual culprit is drywall compound, and this leads to quite a nasty remediation bill. We will know in a week or so the outcome of the survey.
Many samples were taken during the asbestos survey. The lab analysis will determine the cost of remediation (if any).
