Commercial Property Environmental Risk — Kansas City, MO

It surfaces what the public EPA record (ECHO/RCRA/TRI) holds within about one mile of the address — formal enforcement actions, current violations, and assessed penalties at nearby regulated facilities. EPA ECHO shows 1 formal EPA enforcement action, 1 current violation, $3,000 in penalties on file at regulated facilities within about 1 mile of Kansas City, Missouri. The paid report adds the facility names, distances, exact amounts, and a plain-English screening rating for the specific address you enter.

No. This is a preliminary, descriptive screen of public federal records — not an ASTM E1527 Phase I ESA, not All Appropriate Inquiries (AAI), and not legal advice. It does not visit the site, interview anyone, or certify the property. Use it to decide whether a full Phase I (typically $2,000–$5,000) is warranted before you close.

Lenders, title/escrow, and SBA programs care about environmental exposure because contamination can transfer to a new owner. A $399 records screen lets you see the public EPA signal in minutes — for a fraction of a Phase I — and hand a forwardable record to your lender, partner, or attorney early in diligence.

A single full report is $399 for one property (a 5-Pack is $1,499 and Portfolio Watch is $999/yr). You get the facility-level detail behind the signal, distances, penalty amounts, a Low/Moderate/High screening rating, what it means, a recommendation, and a clean branded PDF — emailed to you. All sales are final.

No. Public databases can be incomplete or lag the agencies that maintain them, and the absence of a listed record does not guarantee a property is free of environmental concerns. A clean screen is a useful, forwardable data point — not a certification — and is not a substitute for a Phase I ESA.
