NYC Local Law 126 Requirements

This law aims to protect workers and building occupants from asbestos exposure during renovation activities by ensuring proper identification and handling of asbestos-containing materials.
Our professional asbestos inspections help property owners comply with these regulations and avoid potential violations, work stoppages, and penalties.

Asbestos exposure can lead to serious health conditions, including:
