Bill de Blasio is most likely referring the LEED certification. To retrofit older buildings to LEED standards, is incredibly expensive. Many of the older buildings in NY and across the country have tons of asbestos products in them. $1,000,000 is going to be substantially cheaper than retrofitting the buildings. Therefore, just a tax. Building to LEED standards wrt to new construction is much easier and is already being done in many buildings across the US.

I don't see any requirement for LEED certification on asbestos abatement.
