10 Nebraska St. in Worcester
A Worcester real estate firm and its manager have agreed to pay a fine of up to $55,000 to settle allegations from the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office they knowingly failed to report hazardous materials at an apartment site off Shrewsbury Street.
The firm, ASAA LLC, converted a former machine shop into a 24-unit apartment building at 10 Nebraska St., in a largely industrial area between Shrewsbury Street and rail lines that carry commuter rail trains and freight trains running to and from the nearby CSX rail yard.
In developing the site, the firm failed to report releases of oil, lead, arsenic, asbestos and other hazardous material, Attorney General Maura Healey's office said in announcing the settlement Friday afternoon. Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection guidelines require documentation of such materials.
ASAA and its manager, Anthony Bianco, settled the case in which they were alleged to have known lead found in soil at the site could be hazardous, Healey's office said. As part of the settlement, the firm is required to assess the extent of contamination at the site and comply with clean-up requirements.
