The ACP-7 form, officially known as the "Asbestos Project Notification," is a required submission to the New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for any asbestos abatement project. This form is used to notify the DEP about the scope of work involving asbestos-containing materials, ensuring that all necessary safety precautions and legal requirements are met.
Any operation within the five boroughs that involves disturbing existing asbestos-containing materials (ACMs) mandates the submission of an ACP-7 form. This requirement specifically applies to:
• Renovations: Any remodel or retrofit that entails handling or extracting ACMs.
• Full Demolitions: Complete tear-downs of buildings or structures.
• Urgent/Emergency Responses: Immediate, unplanned interventions where asbestos exposure risks must be rapidly contained.
Skipping this mandatory filing carries severe repercussions, ranging from hefty monetary penalties and halted construction timelines to potential litigation.
