Tenant Notification
Recent amendments to the New York State Environmental Conservation Law (Article 27 (Title 24, Section 27-2405)) establish requirements under which tenants or prospective tenants are to be provided with generic fact sheets developed by the New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) on indoor air contaminants.
This webpage contains links to information on ways to reduce exposure to volatile organic chemicals in air, levels of volatile organic chemicals in indoor and outdoor air, and soil vapor intrusion.
