Asbestos Regulations Are Strict and Enforced in NYC
New York City enforces some of the strictest asbestos regulations in the country. Commercial asbestos work must comply with NYC DEP rules, New York State Industrial Code Rule 56, OSHA standards, and EPA guidelines.
There are no warnings for non-compliance; only violations. Incorrect containment, improper disposal, missing documentation, or unlicensed work often result in stop-work orders and costly corrective action.
Being asbestos specialists, we understand commercial compliance requirements across all NYC boroughs. We manage notifications, containment procedures, waste transport, and clearance documentation to ensure your project passes inspection without delay.
Why Asbestos Poses a Serious Risk in Commercial Buildings
Asbestos is dangerous in commercial environments due to higher occupancy, larger material quantities, and frequent construction activity. When asbestos-containing materials are disturbed, microscopic fibers become airborne and spread quickly through HVAC systems and shared spaces.
Avoid the consequences of asbestos exposure with Big Apple Asbestos Removal.
Our Asbestos Removal Process
Commercial asbestos abatement requires a structured, compliance-first approach. We follow a detail-oriented process to protect you and keep projects moving.
How To Detect Asbestos in Your Property?
Asbestos is often hidden inside building materials, making it difficult to detect without professional testing. However, certain warning signs may indicate its presence, especially in older properties.
Call us today and schedule an appointment for an asbestos survey. We also offer same-day asbestos testing in NYC.
Why Is Asbestos Testing Required Before Asbestos Removal?
Before any asbestos work begins, professional testing is essential. Guessing where asbestos might be is risky and often leads to costly mistakes. If asbestos is overlooked, materials may need to be removed again, causing delays, violations, and added expenses.
In New York City, asbestos testing is required before renovations, demolitions, or any work that may disturb older buildings. Testing clearly identifies where asbestos is present and what type of action is needed. This step helps protect your budget by preventing surprises and keeping your project on schedule.
When you know exactly what needs to be addressed, asbestos removal becomes more accurate, compliant, and efficient. That means fewer problems, delays, and no unnecessary rework.
Don’t take chances; schedule asbestos testing and removal today, and move forward with a clear, safe removal plan.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my property has asbestos?
Many buildings constructed before the 1980s may contain asbestos in ceilings, flooring, insulation, roofing, or wall materials. The only way to confirm the presence of asbestos is through professional testing by a certified inspector.
Is asbestos dangerous in both homes and commercial buildings?
Yes. Asbestos is hazardous in any setting. Whether in a home, office, school, or retail space, disturbed asbestos can release fibers that cause serious long-term health problems.
Do I need asbestos removal before renovating my home or business?
Yes. NYC regulations require asbestos inspection and, if needed, abatement before renovations, repairs, or demolition in older buildings to prevent fiber exposure.
Can asbestos removal be done while the building is occupied?
In some cases, yes. With proper containment, negative air pressure, and safety controls, asbestos removal can be performed without full evacuation. This depends on the size and location of the project.
