ACP-5 Filing for Valley Stream Owners Building in the Boroughs
Your city permit application gets its Asbestos Assessment Report, based on a survey by an investigator DEP has certified.
Who Needs an ACP-5, and Where?
Does a renovation in Valley Stream need an ACP-5? No. This report belongs to New York City alone and covers only properties inside the five boroughs. Nassau County, Valley Stream included, answers to New York State's Industrial Code Rule 56 instead. But many people who live or work here have a two-family in Queens to rent out, a Brooklyn walk-up to manage or a crew working jobs over the line in Rosedale and further in, and for those projects the ACP-5 is often the item that decides whether a permit moves. An ACP-5 is the Asbestos Assessment Report. It is signed by an asbestos investigator certified by the city Department of Environmental Protection after a survey of the area where work will happen. Most Department of Buildings permit filings need one whenever the planned work leaves regulated asbestos untouched. Should the survey turn up asbestos in the path of the work, abatement under a project notification comes before anything else. We arrange the survey, the sampling and the report, and if abatement turns out to be necessary we handle that as well, so the permit side and the asbestos side stay in step. For a contractor or expediter juggling several city jobs, that means one call instead of three.
What Is Part of an ACP-5 Job?
The paperwork is only as good as the survey behind it. Here is what goes into one.
Walk-through by the investigator
Someone holding DEP investigator certification checks each space and surface your permit work will reach.
Lab check on suspects
Anything doubtful is cut, bagged and analyzed by an accredited lab.
The Asbestos Assessment Report
The ACP-5 prepared and signed by the investigator, ready to go with the permit filing.
Talking to your expediter
Your architect, GC or expediter hears from us directly so the paperwork matches the application.
Abatement when the survey finds asbestos
If regulated material will be disturbed, removal under a project notification before work proceeds.
Records for the project file
Survey results, lab reports and the filed report kept together for inspections later on.

Investigator survey
A DEP-certified investigator examines the work area and samples anything that could contain asbestos.
Report or abatement
Nothing regulated in the way? The ACP-5 gets written up for the filing. Something regulated in the way? Abatement is scheduled and finished first.
