Bio Recovery Corporation is an American company that handles crime scene and bio-hazard cleanups. The company assisted in the clean-up of the apartment of Craig Spencer, who worked with Doctors Without Borders, when he contracted Ebola, as well as a bowling alley he visited in New York.
Ron Gospodarski founded Bio Recovery Corporation in 1998 out of his apartment. Previously, he was a volunteer paramedic, and worked as operations manager in a Queens district attorney’s office for six years. After Ron Gospodarski died, the company was inherited by his next of kin, Fran Gospodarski (sister), who later sold off the company to a local competitor , All Island Bio Recovery and Restoration, located in Ronkonkoma, NY.
Bio Recovery has cleaned accidents, suicide and homicide scenes, hoarding situations, anthrax outbreaks, sewage overflow, and other bio-hazard situations. A cleanup requires personal protective gear including a Hazmat suit or single-use non-porous suits, double-filter respirators and chemical spill boots.
Bio Recovery worked on the 2000 Wendy's massacre in Flushing, Queens where five employees were killed during a robbery orchestrated by a manager and former employee. The cleanup took 65 certified technicians and two weeks to finish. The company also handled the crime scene clean for the triple murder above the Carnegie Deli in Manhattan. In 2001, Mayor Rudy Giuliani hired Bio Recovery to remove anthrax from several New York buildings. The company also cleaned anthrax from the ABC-TV headquarters. In 2003, the Regal Princess, a cruise ship struck by the Norwalk virus, was handled by Gospodarski and his team.
