Lisa,
If HPD has issued a violation (they do handle mold complaints), there
is not much more we could do, especially....i,f....th.e..jspurce of the moisture
problem has been addressed. Still, Dr. i___ PJ]___ j could register her
complaint with our Environmental Investigations at 212-442-3372/6.
No agency will sample the mold and if the mold is a result of the
refrigerators being closed (mold inside the refrigerator?) I'm surprised
that HPD would even issue a violation.
If Dr. Burnstein has more questions about mold you could refer her to
me at 212-788-4290 but I would prefer not to talk with her because of
her poor phone manners.
Call me if this issue lingers.

Hi Chris,
I just received a call from Dr. L PH J who resides at j PH i
PH (and who we've heard from several times here at the hotline
regarding
indoor air quality, etc.) Her most recent complaint is regarding an
apparently serious mold issue all over the inside of her
apartment/building.
It seems that the mold problem began because the landlord of her
building
didn't handle the refrigerators and freezers that were left when
residents
left the building following 9/11 and now he refuses to do anything
about the _________ ,
situation. Dr. PH has spoken with HPD and they have classified
the
mold a Code "C" violation—I'm not sure what that specifies—but they
don't
have the jurisdiction to handle it.
Roger suggested I email you to see what the next step should be. Is
there ,-------- ,
someone Dr. . PH could- contact who could come to her building and
i.----
culture the mold or anything?
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Liza Henry, OEM
