    According to city documents, the piece of property has been involved in over 50 industrial operations since "at least 1900". It was used by Riedel Environmental Services for hazardous waste spill clean up operations. It was condemned around 1986 and remains heavily contaminated with PCBs, heavy metals, asbestos and other toxic chemicals.
