Asbestos Inspections in NYC
Conducting asbestos inspections in New York City is a crucial step in ensuring compliance with local and federal regulations, especially before any renovation or demolition work. Many buildings in NYC still contain asbestos-containing materials (ACMs), which can pose serious health risks if disturbed. Inspections must be performed by a certified asbestos investigator licensed by the NYC Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). The process includes a detailed assessment of the building, where suspected materials such as insulation, tiles, and roofing are sampled and tested in a laboratory. If asbestos is detected, the property owner must follow proper abatement procedures to remove or manage the hazardous material safely. Failure to conduct an inspection can lead to fines, work stoppages, and legal consequences.

Understanding the ACP-5 Form
The ACP-5 form is an essential document in NYC’s asbestos inspection process. It serves as official confirmation that a property does not contain asbestos or that the asbestos present does not require abatement. This form is issued by a licensed asbestos investigator after conducting an inspection and laboratory analysis. If the investigator determines that asbestos levels are below the city’s regulatory threshold or that the materials are non-friable (not easily crumbled), they will submit the ACP-5 to the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB), allowing the construction or renovation project to proceed without additional asbestos-related permits. However, if asbestos is found in amounts requiring removal, an ACP-7 (Asbestos Abatement Form) must be filed instead.
