Diamond Bar Blvd Unit B The South Coast AQMD received a complaint about illegal asbestos disruption/removal and came out to our unit this afternoon 5/9/25. AQMD inspector Jose Mejia, cited the owner and the owner’s property manager, Adam Freilich. Adam and his unlicensed handyman were cutting into the popcorn ceiling without getting the proper asbestos testing beforehand, and without following proper health and safety measures for disposal and containment. Adam, attempted to say that the City of Diamond Bar, Raymond Tao from Building and Safety, Inspector Frank Santana, and Chief Environmental Health Specialist Richard Lavin from LA County gave him permission on 5/8/25, to open the ceiling without needing testing to address the plumbing leak in the living room. It might be helpful to review asbestos testing guidelines with landlords and workers within the city and county. Asbestos exposure is a very serious health risk to us, and anyone else who is potential exposed to the asbestos fibers. As you know, we are disabled seniors with health problems. Now our unit is left with holes in the ceiling and debris dust on the carpet. AQMD inspector, Jose Mejia, placed caution tape to quarantine the area. The inspector did take a sample for testing and evidence. We will be awaiting to hear from the Certified Asbestos Consultant if the property owner/corporation chooses to do the right thing and have the area fully tested for asbestos.

Frank from Diamond Bar’s Building and Safety was at the unit on 5/5/25 to help collaborate. Frank took video of the sparking outlets. We got an estimate from a licensed electrician, which is attached. We provided the estimate to the property manager, Adam Freilich. He did not respond so we sent a 2nd request to have him approve the bid. He responded and said he would be doing the work himself. We outlined the reasons he can’t because it will require permits, is over the $500 limit for repairs, and will require a licensed electrician, which Adam is not. He is not the owner, nor does he live at the unit as his primary residence. He can’t use the Owner Builder exemption to do the repairs himself or use his unlicensed handyman. I will be attaching the Notice of Entry form that he posted on the front door to do repairs for 5/8/25 at 10am. We contacted the LA County Health Department and the Chief Environmental Inspector Mr. Richard Lavin, and his inspector Douglas Tong, will be at the property tomorrow to supervise work done at the property. Mr. Lavin requested that Frank open a complaint for the sparking electrical outlets. I am not sure if that has been done yet. > > > Sincerely, > > > The Garispe Family > > 1344 S.
