Mold remediation in Brentwood’s rental housing stock requires the multi-family assessment approach: when mold is confirmed in one unit’s shared wall or floor-ceiling assembly, Article 32 requires assessment of all directly adjacent units to determine the full extent of contamination before a compliant work plan can be written. This is not optional — the NYS DOL mold assessor’s work plan must encompass the full affected area, which in multi-family construction routinely extends beyond the unit where mold was first observed. Upper Restoration’s Article 32 assessors in Brentwood automatically scope adjacent unit inspection into all multi-family mold assessments.
Cost Benchmarks
- Multi-family mold (2-4 units, shared assemblies): $15,000–$45,000.
- Single-family ambient mold or attic mold: $3,500–$9,000.
