Another non-scope consideration that is will likely show up during a Phase One Environmental Site Assessment is lead in drinking water. Consumption of lead has been shown to cause various adverse health effects.
Plumbing with lead or lead solder could lead to lead in drinking water. Buildings constructed prior to 1986 are more likely to have lead pipes, soder, fittings or fixtures. You cannot see, smell or taste lead, and boiling your water will not get rid of lead.
There are "at-home" tests for lead in drinking water for residences, but I would recommend hiring an environmental consultant to sample and document testing for commercial, industrial, retail, or multi-family units to provide a third-party and unbiased report.
