I live in NYC – Queens. My architect sent an asbestos inspector to the house to inspect. I need him to give me a clean ACP5 in order for the bldg dept to issue me permits to start a renovation project.

He said the house still had the old asbestos cement.

Do I have to file with the city? I thought you needed the special contractor and filing with the city only for commercial buildings or schools and churches, not residential homes.

My neighbor is taking it down himself and putting it in plastic bags into a dumpster and then having the dumpster taken away.
