ECB AMNESTY: THE DOF PROGRAM YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO MISS

MELINDA HAMILTON & DWAYNE MUNROE

New York, NYSeptember 29, 2016

THE NYC AMNESTY PROGRAM

Under the New York City Amnesty Program, which started September 12, 2016 and goes until December 12, 2016, the City is forgiving penalties and interest on violations received by individuals and businesses from the Department of Sanitation, Department of Buildings, and other City agencies. It’s important to note that parking violations ARE NOT included under the Amnesty Program.


The program will have a two-fold impact: It will help the City collect debt it is owed it will give New Yorkers a break on their violations in Judgment

Judgment: When the City has taken the legal step of filing a public record in court for the entire amount due.


Here’s how the program works: Any business or individual with violations in judgment before June 12,

2016, can participate in this program. Individuals and businesses that did not attend hearings and have

default penalties can have 100% of the penalties as well as interest forgiven.

Those who attended hearings and were found guilty only have to pay 75% of the base fine. They will also have interest forgiven.

Visit the program’s website at www.nyc.gov/forgivingfines to search and pay for violations that are eligible for amnesty.

http://www.nyc.gov/forgivingfines


The amnesty program covers two types of violations: those that require corrective action, known as compliance violations, and those that do not.

If you have a compliance violation, in addition to paying, you must prove that you have taken corrective action.

The Department of Buildings and the Fire Department issue most compliance violations. Individuals or businesses with compliance violations must pay a deposit of at least 25% of the amount due under the Amnesty Program, then they will have six months to correct the violation and pay their remaining balance.


After the 90-day amnesty period, individuals and businesses will have to pay penalties and interest on top of their base fines. The City will also resume and step up collection efforts, which include referring the judgments to the City Sheriff, and City Marshals, who are authorized to impose additional fees and seize assets, if necessary.


You can find in-depth details, including Frequently Asked Questions, on the Department of Finance’s website at www.nyc.gov/finance, or on the Amnesty Program’s website: www.nyc.gov/forgivingfines.

Once again, for more information, visit the Department of Finance’s website at www.nyc.gov/finance or go to www.nyc.gov/forgivingfines.

We urge any individual or business with violations eligible for amnesty to take advantage of this program. We are giving you 90 days to keep some of your hard-earned money in your pocket and gain peace of mind.

Thank you.

1. Register all cooling towers with the DOH- in NYC as well as NY State

2. Have a Water Management Plan (WMP) or Maintenance Program (MPP) on-site for each tower.

3. This document provides information regarding the system, its risk and hazards and actions to be taken to treat for the prevention of Legionella and the corrective action should legionella be found .


4. Tower must be physically cleaned and disinfected at least 2x per year and first cleaning and disinfection is prior to the seasonal startup of the tower.

5. Tower must be visually inspected at least every 90 days while tower is in operation.

6. Legionella tests must be taken at the startup of the cooling tower and every 90 days while the tower is in operation.


7. The tower is to be tested 3x/week for pH, conductivity, free chlorine and temperature and recorded. This to be done by on-site responsible person as noted in the WMP/MPP.

8. A bacteria dipslide and a visual inspection is to be performed weekly by on-sire personnel and recorded. If results are not within guidelines of Chapter 8 of Title 24 DOH then corrective action must be taken and noted as per WMP/MPP.


9. An Annual cooling tower certification (supplied by OCS) must be filed via the website with the state and city by November 1, 2016 and every year thereafter.

NEW MOLD REGULATIONSJANUARY 1ST, 2016

The Department’s new Mold Program, which is responsible for enforcing Article 32 of the New York State Labor Law, establishes licensing requirements and minimum work standards for professionals engaged in mold assessment and remediation

There are three main components to the new law:

Licensing Training Minimum Work Standards

COMPONENT 1: LICENSING

Contractors will not be allowed to advertise or perform covered work without the required license, with limited exceptions such as home or business owners performing work on their own properties. All licenses are certified by the New York State Department of Labor:

Mold Assessor License Mold Remediation Contractor License Mold Abatement Worker License

COMPONENT 2: TRAINING The Mold Program will protect consumers by

requiring contractors to obtain appropriate training prior to being licensed to perform mold assessment, remediation, or abatement services.

The courses and training providers are required to have approbal from the New York State Department of Labor:

Mold Assessor Training – 32 Hour course Mold Remediation Contractor Training – 24 Hour

course Mold Abatement Worker Training – 16 Hour course

Mold Assessment – Air Sampling

COMPONENT 3: MINIMUM WORK STANDARDS The Mold Program also establishes new minimum work standards

for mold assessments and remediation activities by licensed professionals. The minimum standards are:

Protection against fraud by prohibiting the performance of both the assessment and remediation on the same property by the same individual;

Protection against fraud by requiring an independent mold assessment to define the scope of the remediation work;

Identification of disinfectant products, consistent with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency standards;

Provision of personal protection equipment to employees as necessary; Posted notice of the project and the contractor’s licenses; and Completion of a post-remediation assessment

HOW YOU CAN COMPLY A mold assessment licensee must prepare a mold remediation

plan that is specific to each remediation project before work can begin. The plan must specify:

The rooms or areas where the work will be performed; The estimated quantities of materials to be cleaned or removed; The methods to be used for each type of remediation in each type of

area; The PPE to be supplied by licensed remediates for use by licensed

abaters; The proposed clearance procedures and criteria for each type of

remediation in each type of area; When the project is a building that is currently occupies, how to

properly notify occupants of such projects…

HOW YOU CAN COMPLY A mold assessment licensee must prepare a mold remediation

plan that is specific to each remediation project before work can begin. The plan must specify:

An estimate of cost & an estimated time frame for completion; & When possible, the underlying sources of moisture may be causing

the mold and a recommendation as to the type of contractor who would remedy the source of such moisture

HOW YOU CAN COMPLY Posting of the remediation project is required, and

containment cannot be removed by any person until the mold remediation licensee overseeing the project has received a notice from a mold assessment licensee that the project has achieved clearance. This must be determined by post-remediation assessment

The post-remediation assessment shall determine that:

The work area is free from all visible mold; and All work has been completed in compliance with the

remediation plan and remediation work plan and meets clearance criteria specified in the plan.

ASBESTOS: OVERVIEW Asbestos is a mineral. There are 6 types of asbestos fibers:

Chrysotile Amosite Crocidolite Actinolite Anthrophylite Tremolite

Uses Resistant to heat, fire, and chemicals Physical properties: asbestos fibers can be carded, spun, woven, and

used as structural reinforcement for cement Cost

ASBESTOS CLASSIFICATION ACM – Asbestos Containing Materials (AHERA* Classification)
