Polizzotto Realty has enrolled in the New York City Voluntary Cleanup Program (NYC VCP) to investigate and remediate a property located at 9029 Flatlands Avenue in Canarsie section of Brooklyn, New York. A Remedial Investigation (RI) was performed to compile and evaluate data and information necessary to develop a Remedial Action Work Plan (RAWP). A remedial action was performed pursuant to the OER-approved RAWP in a manner that has rendered the Site protective of public health and the environment consistent with the proposed use of the property. This RAR describes the remedial action performed under the RAWP. The remedial action described in this document provides for the protection of public health and the environment and complies with applicable environmental standards, criteria and guidance and applicable laws and regulations. Site Location and Background The Site is located at 9029 Flatlands Avenue (aka 1159 East 92nd Street) in the Canarsie section of Brooklyn, New York and is identified as Block 8179 and Lot 1 on the New York City Tax Map. The Site is 16,568-square feet and is bounded by a residential building and an auto repair facility to the north, several commercial properties to the south, several commercial/retail stores to the east, and a residential building to the west. Prior to redevelopment, the Site was developed with three, one-story commercial buildings. One of the buildings was utilized as retail store and the other two were vacant since approximately the mid-1980s. Summary of Redevelopment Plan The redevelopment of the Site consisted of a new 14,082-square foot, 2-story commercial building, leaving a 10 foot concrete walkway on the eastern side of the building. The new, on- Site building does not have a basement. A fire escape/stairs are located on the western exterior portion of the building. There is a setback on the eastern side of the property above the first floor utilized as a mechanical area. Both the first floor and second floor of the building are utilized as a gym. As part of development, the entire Site was excavated to 1 foot below grade surface (bgs), another foot of minor excavation took place for the installation of sub-slab depressurization trenches,. In addition, minor excavation to 3-4 feet bgs took place for the installation of 1 Remedial Action Report 9029 Flatlands Avenue, Brooklyn, NY February 2017 (Rev. 1 – July 2017) NYC VCP No. 15CVCP061K structural footings, and an excavation to 5 feet bgs took place for the installation of a new elevator pit.
