So the neighbor removed asbestos tainted air condition ducts from the attic w/o a permit. [View all]

A few months back the neighbor's lawn was covered in air condition ducts. When I met him I asked him about it and he said that the old ducts were part of an asbestos lawsuit. This is a guy who has construction experience and has a lawyer for a relative.

Later I discovered that the city cited him for the removal of the air ducts without a permit. That has to mean that we were all exposed.

This guy is connected to an individual in the neighborhood who has been the source of a lot of conflict in the community. Because of his city connections, no one can touch him.

So, just how much danger were we in for this latest good ole boy shenanigan?

I wouldn't worry about it (but I'd stay out of your neighbor's house where the ducts were). PoliticAverse Jul 2013 #5
