Someone said that someone they know worked for an asbestos removal team. That it was really dangerous work. Finally law makers passed legislation that people had to stop tearing them down because it was a greater health risk to the workers and people living in the immediate area to tear the building down , due to it is old, it breaks, and not in one piece, than it is to just leave them standing. All it takes is the smallest piece of asbestos in your lungs for you to develop serious lung and other illnesses.
What do you think, could they evacuate the buildings? I see people living in brand new buildings all the time that says "This building is known to the state of California to cause cancer" So the problems are that they are building more buildings with toxins, and/ or leaving dangerous buildings just standing, giving off fumes and maybe not evacuating them. Something seems wrong? What do you think?
Not just apartment buildings but, these signs are also in grocery stores, auto repair shops, the parking structures under malls and hospitals.
Buildings with asbestos can have the asbestos removed, by only by certified contractors with the proper equipment.
I would be interested in your location and your citation of the law.
There are many legally-required actions for demolition of a building containing asbestos. If you have some time, you could read them here:

Asbestos dust causes mesothelioma… but there was a hospital in elko,nv and it was made of asbestos. They tore it down and made it a parking lot… so i guess its up to the state to decide
