Biohazard cleanup in Brooklyn

What we run into in Brooklyn

Most Brooklyn work is walk-ups and brownstones, which means stairs and tight turns on the landings for both equipment going up and sealed waste coming down. Add no legal parking outside most addresses and the vehicle plan becomes part of the job plan rather than an afterthought. Brownstones bring their own wrinkle: original wood floors over open joists, so fluid that reaches the boards can show up on the ceiling of the unit below, and the first thing we want to know is whether that floor is shared with another household.

• Walk-ups and buildings where the service elevator has to be booked, which sets the schedule more than the size of the job does.
• Co-op and condo boards and managing agents who need notifying, and sometimes a certificate of insurance before a crew can enter.
• Shared hallways and shared ventilation, so we check whether anything has reached the corridor or a neighbouring unit.
• Nowhere legal to park, which means the vehicle plan is part of the job plan.

Getting a crew in and material out

Tell us the floor, whether there is an elevator, and who holds the keys. Those three answers change the plan more than anything else you can tell us on the call.
