"Have Fungi Growing In My Apartment, Pretty Sure There’s Black Mold Hidden Too. What Are My Options?"
"Renting an apartment and have had constant flooding during the storms. This was a problem last year too. Now it’s much worse. Fungi is growing in and around my apartment. The floor has had black spots creep through the fake wood flooring.
I called 311 and filed a complaint and they told me an inspector would reach out in two days time, but they didn’t. So after a week, I called the health inspector's office only to be rudely told that they don’t give out timelines for when they can come back and inspect/test the place.
Any others had this problem and the landlord would just shrug it off? What are my options as far as remediation or rehousing? Do I withhold rent until this is resolved?
I’m in serious need of advice as I have asthma and eczema and I can’t keep either in control now and I think it’s due to this issue."
Then don’t rent.
