Mold Removal in the Village of Hempstead, NY, for Renters and Owners

Whether you rent or own in the Village of Hempstead, an assessment gives you a written record of where the mold is and what is feeding it, which is what a landlord, a tenant or a repair crew needs to act on. More than half of the village's homes, 52.5 percent, are rented and 35.9 percent of units are in buildings of twenty or more, roughly three and four times the county's shares.

Six quick questions about the house and where the damp is showing, then your details. It takes about a minute.

Question 1What are you dealing with?
Question 2Which part of the county is the house in?

How far down the water sits under a Nassau house changes a great deal from the South Shore to the North Shore hills. Near the bays and harbors it can be close to the surface. Under much of the middle of the island and the hills it is far below the floor, so damp there usually comes from the house itself. The town is enough, and not sure is a fine answer.

Question 3What is the lowest level of the house?

A house built on a concrete slab, a house with a basement and a house over a crawl space get wet in different ways, and the fix is different for each. Many homes in this county were built on slabs with no basement at all.

Question 4Where is it showing up?

Where the damp appears is the first clue to which way the water came. Damp that starts low and spreads up points one way, and damp around a fixture, a window or a ceiling points another.

Question 5How long has this been going on?

Something that got wet in the last day or two can often still be dried. Something that has stayed damp for weeks usually cannot, and the job changes.

Question 6What would you like to happen next?

In New York the company that assesses mold and the company that removes it cannot be the same company on one job, so it helps to know where you want to start.

Who fixes mold in a Village of Hempstead rental

This page is the Village of Hempstead, an incorporated village with its own building department, and not the much larger Town of Hempstead around it. The village reports that it does not lie in the 100 year floodplain, so mold in a Hempstead apartment is usually about water inside the building: a unit above, a shared pipe, a roof, or a bathroom without a working fan. New York law makes every residential lease carry a landlord's warranty that the home is fit to live in, and a tenant cannot sign that right away. The state health department's advice to renters is to clean small spots themselves, ask the landlord or superintendent to fix persistent mold or leaks, and if nothing happens, ask the local building department or code enforcement to inspect. Keep dated photos and copies of every request. A landlord who wants the work done properly can book a licensed assessment through us.
