Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Approximately two-thirds of New York City's 800,000 buildings contain asbestos. Most of this material is damaged or deteriorating. Legislation pending in the New York City Council (Bill number 453) would require virtually all building owners to inspect for asbestos, to develop management and maintenance plans to prevent disturbance of intact material, and to provide notice of the presence of asbestos to building occupants. This paper reviews the legislation and discusses its features that have been questioned. It concludes that regulation of in-place asbestos is necessary and appropriate. |
