Code: ACM (Asbestos material term)
Description: (Asbestos Containing Materials) are building products that include asbestos fibers and can release dangerous dust when they are damaged, cut, or removed.
Practical Meaning: If your home has asbestos containing materials, you should not disturb them and you may need a licensed asbestos professional before doing renovation work.
Where You May See It: ACP5 form, DOB permit application, architect or engineer reports, asbestos inspection reports, renovation contracts.
Why It Matters: Damaged asbestos materials can create serious health risks and may lead to stop work orders, higher project costs, and delays if not handled under NYC asbestos rules.
