Where your property sits decides who regulates the work. Inside New York City, DEP’s Asbestos Control Program governs asbestos projects, notifications and certifications. Elsewhere in New York State, asbestos work falls under NYS Department of Labor Industrial Code Rule 56. New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania each have their own licensing and notification requirements.
CRE works to the standard that governs your site, and we plan around the practical realities of each market: building rules in Manhattan towers, loading and access in Brooklyn loft buildings, bridge and tunnel logistics for Staten Island and Long Island.
DEP's Asbestos Control Program
NYS DOL Industrial Code Rule 56
Their own licensing and notification requirements
New York City's five boroughs, Long Island and Westchester. Inside NYC, we work under DEP's Asbestos Control Program; elsewhere in the state, under NYS DOL rules. This is home turf.
Commercial and institutional properties in Northern New Jersey, including Bergen, Hudson, Essex and Union counties.
Commercial projects in Fairfield County and Southwestern Connecticut.
Select commercial and institutional projects in Pennsylvania.
High-rise office floors, pre-war commercial buildings and retail corridors where freight-elevator windows, after-hours work rules and building-management insurance requirements shape the schedule. We plan abatement and demolition around the building, not the other way around.
Converted warehouses and lofts, industrial waterfront buildings and mixed-use corridors — older building stock where asbestos, lead paint and legacy industrial materials commonly turn up during renovation.
Long Island City conversions, Flushing and Jamaica commercial districts and industrial and logistics buildings with large floor plates — which means larger containment areas and more waste volume to plan for.
Industrial and food-distribution buildings, institutional campuses and older mixed-use properties. Projects often pair hazardous-material characterization and permitted disposal with abatement.
Industrial waterfront and commercial properties where bridge crossings affect mobilization and waste transport. We plan crews and hauling around the Verrazzano-Narrows, Goethals and Outerbridge crossings.
Industrial parks, medical offices, retail centers and school buildings. Outside NYC, asbestos projects fall under NYS DOL rules rather than DEP, and we work to whichever authority governs your site.
Corporate campuses and medical and school facilities in White Plains, New Rochelle and surrounding communities, under NYS DOL asbestos rules.
DEP inside NYC, NYS DOL outside it, and different regimes in New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Filing the wrong notice is a schedule problem you can avoid.
Co-ops, office towers, hospitals and schools each set their own work hours, insurance requirements and access rules. We get those requirements early.
Freight elevators, loading docks, street permits and bridge crossings decide how fast containment goes up and waste comes out.
