United States v. Fidelity Development Group LLC

Docket Number
3:24-CR-00077
Overview

On January 16, 2025, Fidelity Development Group LLC (Fidelity) pleaded guilty to violating the Clean Air Act for failing to inspect for the presence of asbestos (42 U.S.C. § 7413(c)(1)). Sentencing is scheduled for March 4, 2025.

In 2015 or 2016, Fidelity purchased a building and planned to renovate it into a mixed-use property. Fidelity failed to perform or acquire an asbestos survey for the building prior to renovations. Around April 2020, a certified asbestos company conducted an asbestos survey in the Fidelity Building and identified more than 12,000 linear feet of 80% chrysolite asbestos pipe wrap insulation in friable condition.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Criminal Investigation Division conducted the investigation.
