People often feel misled regarding mold, types of mold and the effects on their health due to the conflicting array of information on the internet. What better way to clear up and make a discerning determination than to expand upon what has been issued by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH)?
The following points are a few conclusions and sentiments expounded by the CDPH: 1. The presence of various types of water damage, sodden material, conspicuous mold formation, musty odors from molds indoors (in any type of building) is considered "unhealthy". 2. The identification of the water source is a priority in eradicating any mold issue. 3. The presence of the formerly mentioned (water damage, sodden material and mold) all increase the risk of developing a respiratory condition. 4. At the beginning of the calendar year (1/1/2016), mold is now considered to effect the noted condition of a rental property to that of being 'substandard'. The landlord must enforce remediation to ensure the property is repaired appropriately.
