Local inspection, national standards

We perform Phase I ESAs throughout New York, including New York City, Long Island, Westchester, Buffalo, Rochester and Albany. A field professional who knows the area visits your property in person, and an Environmental Professional reviews the full record and signs the report. You get local knowledge and the consistency lenders expect from a national firm.

What we look for in New York

Older building stock and dense historic land use shape most Northeast Phase I findings. We regularly see former or abandoned heating-oil tanks, historic dry cleaners and gas stations on neighboring lots, urban fill of unknown origin, and pre-1980 materials that can contain asbestos and lead paint.

In New York we review NYSDEC spill records, petroleum and chemical bulk storage registrations, Brownfield Cleanup Program sites and, in New York City, E-designations that can affect redevelopment.

Records review covers federal databases plus files from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC), along with local building, fire and health department records where available.

Who we work with in New York

Investors and developers buying their next property, SBA and commercial lenders financing New York real estate, brokers who need a reliable referral, and national operators adding locations in the state.
