Wisconsin Real Estate Company to Pay $75K Fine in Iowa Asbestos Case

A Milwaukee, Wisconsin, real estate company will pay $75,000 to Iowa for violating several asbestos regulations at one of its former buildings in Newton, the Iowa Attorney General’s office announced.

Phoenix Investors LLC, agreed to a consent order on April 17. The attorney general sued the company on behalf of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. The state also sued JB2 Services, a Milwaukee-based contractor hired by Phoenix to remove the asbestos in the building. That lawsuit remains active.
