Between tenancies, a unit is emptied of what was left behind and reset for the next lease; on a renovation, its finishes come out ahead of the new ones, and the debris is loaded and hauled away from the property.
The work
The rules that apply
- Massachusetts: MassDEP requires a Construction/Demolition Notification ten working days before work starts on any construction or demolition project, except in a residential building with fewer than 20 units. Whether a given job needs one is a question for MassDEP. — MassDEP Massachusetts Asbestos & Demolition Notifications
- Boston: A home with six or more units needs a Site Cleanliness Permit from Inspectional Services (City Ordinance Article 23, Section 2); the fine is $50, and not more than $1,000. — Boston Public Works Boston Dumpster Permits
