In  New York State, building owners are required to utilize a
certified and licensed third-party Project Monitor and Air
Sampling Technician on most asbestos abatement projects, per
12 NYCRR Part 56-4 and 56-9.  

The level of involvement of these oversight professionals
depends on the size of the project and the type of asbestos
materials being removed.

Due to potential conflicts of interest, asbestos abatement
contractors cannot hire or provide required monitoring, clearance,
and area air sampling services on their projects.

Lakeland Environmental provides Project Monitoring services
for building owners or their representatives.   Contact us to
discuss cost-effective options for your upcoming abatement
project.
