Marlborough-based asbestos and mold removal company Soriano Environmental, Inc. has been fined $62,640 for violations of asbestos regulations by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.
The penalty is regarding work the company did on three residential properties in Brookline and Newton, according to the MassDEP press release from Tuesday..
MassDEP conducted a review which found Soriano had completed asbestos abatement work without filing for the required Asbestos Notification Form and fee. The company removed significantly more asbestos, which is an insulation material and a known carcinogen, than was approved under the emergency waivers received for each of the three sites.
Soriano will pay $26,100 of the penalty now and have the rest of the fine suspended for one year as long as the firm has no further violations.
