Why a permit is a lead

The federal asbestos NESHAP (40 CFR 61.145) requires an inspection for asbestos before a regulated demolition or renovation starts, and removal of regulated material before it is disturbed. A new permit tells you the address, the work and often the general contractor at the moment that question comes up. Homes with four or fewer units are generally outside the federal rule, but older houses often contain asbestos and NY or local rules can still apply, so home demolitions are listed too.
