Additional Property Attributes

The property, listed on the Cuyahoga County Assessor's website as tax parcels PPN 129-29-057 and PPN 129-29-058, is owned by Roy Brown's LLC. It spans 0.24 acres and contains a vacant commercial building and two trailers. Developed prior to 1935, the site housed a gas station and auto repair garage. Historical records show operations as Joseph N. Nagy Filling Station (1935-1951) and Nagy's Gas Station (1955). Sanborn maps indicate three underground storage tanks (USTs) in the 1950s, with reconfigurations by 1962 and additional USTs installed in 1960. The property was later owned by Atlantic Refining Co. (1963-1976) and functioned as an auto repair shop until 2017.

A Phase I Environmental Assessment (PA) by Partners in July 2024 identified several environmental concerns:
IA-01: Suspect Gasoline UST System - Historical records indicate USTs were present until 1976, with possible remaining USTs.
IA-02: Staining on the Concrete Floors in the Auto Repair Garage.
IA-03: Subsurface Reservoir - Petroleum staining was observed near a suspect subsurface reservoir, likely from a hydraulic lift.

Phase II testing results include:
Soil Testing: No contamination exceeding standards; no further investigation is needed.
Groundwater Testing: Lead and arsenic exceeded standards in two monitoring wells, but further testing is unnecessary due to the Urban Setting Designation (USD) and public water supply.
Sub-Slab Vapor Testing: No exceedances above commercial/industrial land use standards.
Soil Gas Vapor Testing: Initial exceedances of VOCs were later found to be anomalies, with no further investigation required.
GPR Survey: No anomalies suggesting orphan USTs. Any identified USTs should be removed in compliance with regulations.

Asbestos survey results from May 29, 2024, identified the following:
Built-up flat roofing materials were presumed to contain asbestos. These materials do not need to be removed before demolition, provided they remain non-friable. However, if there's a risk of friability during demolition, the Client may remove the materials beforehand to prevent exposure.
Window glazing contained trace amounts of asbestos but was not considered Asbestos-Containing Material (ACM). While removal prior to demolition is not required, it must be managed per OSHA regulations to prevent exposure during disturbance.
If the Client opts to remove these materials prior to demolition, a licensed contractor must abate them in compliance with applicable regulations.
