New York Asbestos Abatement: Investigator's seal requirement

No NYC-certified asbestos investigator shall submit any plan or report to any client or any city, state, or federal agency that does not have the investigator's seal and signature affixed to it. Photocopies of the seal and signature are not acceptable.

Seals used by certified asbestos investigators shall be circular in shape, approximately one and three quarter inches in diameter, with three concentric circles. The inner circle shall contain an accurate representation of the great seal of the City of New York. The legend at the top of the outer band shall read "CITY OF NEW YORK" and at the bottom "CERTIFIED ASBESTOS INVESTIGATOR". In the inner circle above the great seal of the City of New York shall be shown the name of the certified asbestos investigator.

Any plan or report submitted without the investigator's seal and signature shall be considered invalid,

Use of personal valid "professional engineer" or "registered architect" seal in lieu of investigators' seal by certified investigators is allowed.
