I agree this policy has applications for major renovations, when using contractors (foot traffic, noise) , heavy material and equipment transfers and the potential for environmental and HOA property wear and tear.

Since college Ive been working as an environmental engineering consultant and my clients are all over the northeast.

Environmental seems clean.

We used Statewide Environmental Services LLC in Raritan NJ, they took care of everything.

Check with Connecticut's Environmental Protection Agency. 

Crime prevention through environmental design is a hot topic these days and landscaping plays into that.  

Has anyone ever required a Phase 1 environmental assessment as a contingency?  

One retail center with 10 tenants and each having a different 40 page lease is 400 pages to look at not including LOI, purchase and sale,appraisal, environmental phase one, site inspection, survey, title exceptions,repair bids, service contracts, property management agreements, profit and loss statements, cam reconciliation reports, rent rolls, trialing 36 months, loan covenants, etc.I just stopped but there is much more so one deal can have over 1,000 pages to review.That's scary if a buyer is putting millions at risk with an unseasoned residential broker with dollar signs in their eyes dreaming of a big check.

I'm looking for an appraiser, an inspector and somebody to do a phase 1 environmental study.

Quote from @Evan Polaski: @Jack Wang, I can also say I often find people make these out to be bigger issues in their minds than in reality.I wouldn't dismiss Jack's list so easily, especially the environmental issues such as lead paint & asbestos.
