Phase 19 update: 46 Park Ridge homes enrolled; VOC issue with earlier windows under remediation

May 21, 2025

The commission learned that Phase 19 of the Residential Sound Insulation Program now includes two more Park Ridge residents (total 46); previously installed windows from an earlier phase emitted a VOC odor and a new contractor has been hired to address the problem. TAPIER remains unfunded.

The full story

Commission staff reported progress on the Residential Sound Insulation Program and raised a materials issue from prior installations: some previously installed windows were emitting a VOC odor after sun exposure degraded the resin in the plastic. The original manufacturer is no longer in business; staff said a new contractor has been engaged to resolve the issue.
