2509 W CHESTNUT ST issued asbestos permit for emergency demolition

An asbestos permit has been issued for an emergency-order demolition at 2509 W Chestnut St, where the Louisville & Jefferson County Landbank owns a vacant, one-story former residence built in 1885 (about 1,270 sq ft). Aesthetic Industrial Contracting, Inc. is listed as the abatement contractor and waste hauler with daily disposal to WM Outer Loop Landfill, and the project is scheduled to run from Feb. 27 to Mar. 27, 2026. Contractors must minimize disturbance, keep materials adequately wet, containerize and promptly dispose of debris, treat all demolition debris as regulated asbestos-containing material (RACM), and avoid tracked vehicles on demolition debris — so it’s being handled as a safety-first teardown.
