Frequently Asked Questions
01
When do I need an asbestos survey or ACP-5 filing for my project?
In NYC, asbestos surveys are generally required before starting any renovation or demolition work that involves DOB permits. The ACP-5 filing acts as the official documentation of these survey results for the DOB. Elevate helps you organize compliant inspections and expert reporting to keep your project moving.
02
What should NYC landlords know about Local Law lead-based paint requirements?
Local Law 1 and related mandates require landlords to proactively find and fix lead paint hazards, particularly in homes with young children. HPD often requests specific inspection records and documentation for compliance. To help you plan, Elevate offers detailed XRF testing and professional reporting to ensure all safety benchmarks are met.

When should I request a mold assessment or indoor air quality evaluation?
Evaluations are best requested when facing visible mold, musty odors, water intrusion, tenant complaints, or health concerns. Elevate’s assessments utilize visual inspections, moisture checks, and sampling as needed to help guide remediation planning.
