Phase I ESAs, 47 FHA Repossessed Houses in Queens and Brooklyn
The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) desired to dispose of 59 dwelling units in 47 buildings in Queens and Brooklyn. The proposed disposition required information and reports pursuant to Part A of HUD Environmental Assessment Form 4128. In addition, NYCHA desired Phase I Environmental Site Assessments, in accordance with ASTM E 1527-05 and E 1528, to facilitate the redevelopment of the sites. SEA submitted the winning bid for this contract with NYCHA and was assisted by Potomac Hudson Engineering, Inc.
