In New York State, any building or part of a building constructed prior to 1974
and scheduled for demolition (partial or full) must be surveyed by a licensed
inspector for asbestos-containing materials, per NYS Industrial Code Rule
56-1.9.  If a building is constructed after 1974 but scheduled for whole-
building demolition, a survey must be completed or the building must be
assumed to contain asbestos.

Buildings constructed after 1974 can  contain asbestos, and it is the
responsibility of building  owners to protect occupants and workers under
numerous EPA and OSHA regulations.

Most New York municipalities (counties, towns, cities, and  villages) require a
proper asbestos survey before issuing a permit for demolition.

We also inspect and sample fire debris piles and contaminated soil.
