Asbestos Inspection FAQs
What is an ACP5?
An ACP5 is the Asbestos Assessment Report and is required by New York City Local Law 76/85 for most construction projects on buildings constructed before April 1st, 1987. A Certified Asbestos Investigator issues an ACP5 to verify that your project has no asbestos or is below certain thresholds that do not require asbestos abatement.
Building owners are required by the rules of NYC 1-23, section a for having an asbestos survey performed by a DEP-certified investigator to determine the absence or presence of asbestos-containing material. This is for full demolition and any alteration, renovation or modification on buildings constructed before April 1st, 1987.
How fast can I receive my ACP5?
When working with Crosscheck Inspections, you can typically receive your ACP5 within 48 hours of the inspection. As mentioned above, having a completed PW1 form and drawings ready for review will expedite the process. If you need it sooner, we offer expedited sample turnaround times for an additional fee.
How long does an asbestos inspection take?
Most inspections take a minimum of two hours, although the duration can vary depending on the size of the project.
Who needs to be present at the inspection?
Only the inspector needs to be present. However, you may choose to have the client, architect, engineer, or construction manager attend as well.
What happens during the inspection?
Prior to the inspection, the Certified Asbestos Inspector will review the construction drawings, focusing on the demolition plans to identify areas to be disturbed. A game plan is put together so that the day of investigation can move quickly.
During the inspection, the Certified Asbestos Inspector will review the game plan and determine the number of samples needed based on material type. They will collect the samples by probing select areas which they will then send to a certified laboratory for analysis.
How will I receive the ACP5?
