New York City Housing Authority To Spend $50 Million In The Fight Against Mold<\/p><\/div>\n

How much is good health worth? The New York City Housing Authority<\/a> is spending $50 million on a Manhattan mold removal<\/a> project to correct a problem that has long plagued city-run apartment complexes.<\/p>\n

Cleaning “Sick” Buildings<\/strong><\/p>\n

NYCHA residents have struggled with mold-related issues for at least 10 years. Lack of maintenance of air vents<\/a> in the apartment buildings has been a significant cause. Incredibly, over a 60-year period, most of the vents have gone without cleaning except for occasional complaint-driven occurrences.<\/p>\n

In 2013, after a community group sued the city on behalf of asthma sufferers living in the apartment buildings, a federal judge was appointed to oversee mold cleanup efforts. The current project includes scrubbing ventilation ducts and replacing faulty belt-driven roof fans with belt-free direct-drive fans.<\/p>\n

What’s Next?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Keeping ventilation systems clean is only one step in controlling mold growth. Dampness from flooding and leaky pipes creates ideal conditions for mold spores<\/a> to multiply. Unfortunately, this type of damage often happens in out-of-the-way areas where mold can grow unseen.<\/p>\n

Repairing water damage<\/a> is also on the horizon for the cleanup initiative. The NYCHA has earmarked $156 million in their budget for pipe work over the next five years.<\/p>\n
