NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

Gilsenan, Michael From: Christopher D'Andrea [cdandreafghealth.nyc.gov] Sent: Thursday, April 04, 2002 9:53 AM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; Caroline Bragdon; Jim Miller; Roger Hayes Subject: Re: Mold at 200 Rector Place

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.

»> WTC Hotline <[email protected]> 04/03/02 04:24PM »> 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
