Site Narrative
- Requested by Cook Inlet Housing Authority

Historical records indicate the property was listed as a dry cleaner from as far back as the 1970s. Previous historical use may have included a gas station, but this could not be definitively determined. In 2008 a Phase II conducted on the site indicated that tetrachloroethene (PCE) was in soil above DEC cleanup levels. Cook Inlet Housing Authority would like to redevelop this property along with seven other parcels into a mixed-use development including enhanced streetscape for bicyclists, pedestrians and motorists, additional retail and office space, and housing units in Mountain View.
In SFY 2017, a DBAC service was awarded to Cook Inlet Housing Authority to conduct additional site characterization including a Hazardous Building Materials survey at the site. The report indicates that the building contains asbestos containing materials, lead based paint, while PCE was found in the soil above DEC cleanup levels. Cook Inlet Housing Authority is currently discussing the site with the owner.
