Overview

It appears that concerns about asbestos in the basement were first raised in or before February 2023 and were last explicitly mentioned in basement meeting notes May 2023. Meeting notes mention discussion on self-collecting air samples and sending them to labs to be tested, but it's unclear if this was ever actually completed.

In March 2023 a number of lab were contacted for quotes. The quoted prices ranged from $650 to $2000. Renewal with Grace, Inc visited the basement and their assessment was summarized as such
