White Tab 112 — ALC Pre‑Remediation Inspection & Pre‑Award Communications (Feb–Mar 2020)¶

GUARDRAIL: WHITE — FACT REPOSITORY ONLY

Facts & source pinpoints only. No strategy, no argument, no legal opinions. All quotations are "as reported" unless exact text appears in a cited source.

A) Source Identification (from the face of the ALC report)¶

Firm: ALC Environmental (The ALC Group, LLC d/b/a ALC Environmental).
Report title: "Limited Water Intrusion Inspection."
Location: 226 Franklin Street, Apartment G21, Brooklyn, NY 11222.
Inspection date: February 07, 2020 (inspector: Candice A. Kowalewski, MPH).
Report date: March 18, 2020 (Revised); addressed to Martin C. Kofman at American Package Company.
Licensing statement (excerpt): "ALC identified visual microbial growth and water damaged materials. Since the impacted materials are greater than 10 square feet, NYS regulations require the work to be completed by a licensed mold remediator and then cleared by a licensed mold assessor." (Results & Recommendations section).

B) Timeline — Pre‑Award Communications & Report Issuance (facts from case files)¶

Feb 7, 2020 — ALC inspection conducted at G21 (Candice Kowalewski, MPH).
Feb 20, 2020 — "Smoking‑gun" email (verbatim excerpt) from Christian Gray to Violet Lautan (American Package Co.):

"Confirmed. When will you be receiving the mold report? How are you moving ahead with a third company without a mold report from the second company? Thank you."

(Sent 3:56 PM; subject: Re: Appointment and Mold Report.)

Feb 24, 2020 — Scheduling of SERVPRO noted in timeline working file.

Feb 27, 2020 — SERVPRO onsite/inspection (before ALC report finalized).

Mar 18, 2020 — ALC report issued (Revised) to Martin C. Kofman.

Delivery note (current record): Working files indicate the ALC report was sent to the owner and not provided to SERVPRO; no record located in the file set of delivery to SERVPRO. (Update if a transmission record is later produced.)

C) "Smoking‑Gun" Email (verbatim, with source)¶

Date/Time: Thu, Feb 20, 2020, 3:56 PM

From: Christian Gray

To: Violet Lautan (American Package Co.)

Subject: Re: Appointment and Mold Report

Text:

"Confirmed. When will you be receiving the mold report? How are you moving ahead with a third company without a mold report from the second company? Thank you."

Context from the same timeline record: Violet had scheduled SERVPRO for Feb 27, before ALC issued its report on Mar 18.

D) Regulatory/Scope Statements (as stated in ALC's report)¶

ALC documented "visual microbial growth and water damaged materials" and stated that because the impacted area exceeds 10 sq ft, the work must be performed by a licensed mold remediator and then cleared by a licensed mold assessor (NYS Mold Program), per the Results & Recommendations section of the report.

E) Why this record matters to chronology (facts‑only)¶

The sequence is: ALC inspects (Feb 7) → Tenant objects to moving ahead without the report (Feb 20) → SERVPRO scheduled/onsite (Feb 24–27) → ALC issues report (Mar 18). This shows the contractor activity preceded the issuance of the licensed assessor's report.
ALC's written statement that Level II‑type regulated work was required (licensed remediator + licensed clearance) appears in the report that issued after the SERVPRO visit.

(No inferences are drawn here; this tab preserves the dates, the email text, and the report language.)

F) Cross‑References (White tabs; facts‑only)¶
