Stay Compliant with Oregon DEQ Asbestos Regulations During Renovations! Planning a remodel or renovation? It’s essential to stay on top of compliance. All commercial buildings, regardless of age, and residential properties built before January 1, 2004, must undergo an asbestos survey by an accredited inspector before any demolition or renovation work begins. The exception: If you’re the owner-occupant of a single-family home and handling the renovation yourself, you’re exempt from the survey requirement.
