There are no New York State or New York City requirements for testing mold in buildings.
However New York City has enabled tenants to file Mold Complaints with it's 311 system. This opens up property owners to the potential of being sued for tenant health concerns if a tentant was to become ill.
If buying or selling a property, mold damage can decrease it's appraisal value by 10%.
We are certified by the EPA to provide Mold Inspections and Testing. As Mold Inspectors we work closely with building managers, property owners and major transportation authorities to identify and rid their properties of various potentially hazardous molds across New York State, New York City and the Connecticut properties.
We begin Investigations by taking bulk samples of building material for water damage which consists of wall and ceiling surfaces. We also utilize high volume air monitoring pumps to collect air samples to test for the presence of spores. Our lab partnerships with AmeriSci and EcoX allow us to test and identify the presence of mold in samples rapidly. After lab testing we offer services with a Certified Industrial Hygenist to design a remediation plan for abatement of all of the affected areas, across all affected properties.
