This document is an Asbestos Survey Report prepared by DK Environmental & Construction Services, Inc. for the City of Ocala Code Enforcement, focused on a single-family detached dwelling located at 719 NW 15th Avenue in Ocala, Florida. The survey was conducted on July 02, 2024, by an EPA-trained asbestos building inspector named Chris Ritko, with the purpose of identifying the presence of asbestos-containing materials (ACM) that may be disturbed during planned demolition. The property is an approximately 1,360 square foot structure constructed in 1951.

The survey involved collecting fifteen samples of suspect materials, which were analyzed by Hayes Microbial Consulting, an AIHA-accredited laboratory. The analytical results revealed one sample containing asbestos: Sample 719-4-1, a 12" x 12" floor tile from the interior hallway, which tested positive for 2% Chrysotile asbestos. The report emphasizes that any renovation, demolition, or disturbance of asbestos-containing materials must be performed by a Florida-licensed asbestos abatement contractor following OSHA and EPA regulations. The findings recommend that materials containing asbestos be removed prior to any renovation or demolition activities, with careful adherence to national and state environmental protection guidelines.
