Check out my friends band Alternative Radio. They are a 90s/2000s alt rock cover band. They play around Providence all the time. Check out their FB page.

Politelli Family Dental in Warwick is excellent. First dentist I've actually liked in my 30-some years of life.

How did you already fail an inspection for the new plate if we don’t even have the new plates yet?

Asbestos in the dust? Meaning the base material is deteriorating and falling away on its own?
Referring back to my lead paint comparison, it’s not harmful on its own, but if the host material is deteriorate then you got a problem. (Materials deteriorate from a number of factors. It’s New England so my assumption is humidity and temperature swings)
Now we’re talking. Hell yea; that’s an issue if the ceilings are falling apart and needs to be addressed. At the very least it’s probably worth the money to get that stuff retested and evaluated by a consultant. Get ahead of the problem before you end up with an investigation on your hands.
I wouldn’t toss a drop ceiling at it to cover it up. If the hot material is deteriorating, it’ll just build up on the ceiling tiles and when a tile gets moved, you inhale a boatload of asbestos.

Beautiful! I love the perspective of that 19th century brownstone building dwarfed by the newer towers around it. For two decades, it was the tallest building in Providence and was the home of the Merchants Bank. I have a short history of it and some photos here: http://www.ricurrency.com/bank-name/merchants-bank/

It's literally their job. Who cares if they get annoyed? Unless they don't have any, or are rationing them due to shortage, I wouldn't be concerned with the bank teller's feelings.

As a side note;
I’m a contractor and I like replacing/rebuilding things instead of putting bandaids on problems. However that is often a discussion that is tied to money, so I don’t envy anyone that has to make evaluations like this.
Turns out, behind the scenes, things are really complicated and often not a simple “fix it” situation.

AHERA? Off the top of my head, I don’t know the requirements but I know the information is found buried somewhere at the EPA.
From my limited knowledge, it’s documenting where the “hot material” is and having an execution plan for removal or repairs to it. As a contractor, my company is usually the one managing the final steps of whatever that plan is; my specialty is MEP Systems with a focus on Renovations.
For the decay part, I generally lean toward the “No, it’s not an immediate concern.” Asbestos is a fiber, not a gas, and is harmful when inhaled. So it’s not like an “off-gas” or “radioactive material”. If it goes airborne, typically is can hang around for 2-3 days, which is why you have specialized companies to dispose of it safely.
A similar situation is lead paint. Off hand touching lead paint is not a problem. But when it starts to deteriorate, that’s when you’ve got an issue.
