The specialist is subject to the approval of the Building Commissioner, and no work may begin until such approval is given. An asbestos hazard evaluation specialist shall be as defined in Ohio R.C. 3710.01(F) and must possess a certificate as defined in Ohio R.C. 3710.01(J)(1). The specialist must present a bond in favor of the City in an amount equal to the cost of the project and must be insured pursuant to the provisions of Section 1501.39.
