Co-op City residents sue city over millions of dollars spent in asbestos scare - NYPOST.com: In 2005, a city Department of Environmental Protection inspector took a tile from a vacant Co-op City apartment to a lab for testing. A trace of asbestos was discovered in the 40-year-old adhesive.The city ordered a massive asbestos abatement and reflooring of the complex’s 15,372 apartments at a cost of $20 million to tenants.But the remediation has been a waste of money, according to a lawsuit being filed tomorrow in Bronx state Supreme Court on behalf of the 55,000 co-op owners.They claim 86,000 air tests conducted so far show no airborne asbestos before, during or after flooring work. They blame the phony scare on overzealous city inspectors and want their money back.
