Operative Text
No person shall engage in or allow surface coating by the spraying of asbestos or asbestos-containing materials.
Section 245-145 of Sleepy Hollow's Code of Ordinances prohibits anyone from applying surface coatings that contain asbestos or asbestos-containing materials through spraying. This rule applies broadly to any person who either performs or permits such an activity. The provision reflects a public health and safety concern about the hazards associated with airborne asbestos fibers released during spray application.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 245-145, property owners and managers in Sleepy Hollow are expected to ensure that no spray-applied surface coatings containing asbestos or asbestos-containing materials are used on their properties. Compliant operators typically vet contractors and materials before any coating work begins, confirming that spray applications do not involve prohibited substances. Allowing such work to proceed—even if performed by a third party—can implicate the property owner under this provision.
