WHAT IS AN ACP-5 FORM?
The ACP-5 form is a key document in New York City issued by a licensed asbestos investigator to certify that a building or renovation project does **not** contain asbestos or that the asbestos present will not be disturbed during the proposed work. It is a critical part of compliance with NYC's asbestos regulations, ensuring public health and safety.
WHO REQUESTS AN ACP-5?
-
Building Owners: Often request the form to proceed with renovations, demolitions, or construction.
-
Contractors: May require it to submit applications for work permits to the NYC Department of Buildings (DOB).
-
Architects or Engineers: Frequently initiate the request as part of their project planning process.
