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.  

Buildings constructed after 1974 can also 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.
