Changes in New York Mold Legislation

Rolled newspaper with the headline Changes in legislation

What’s New?

New York has recently joined other states in passing laws requiring training for those who engage in mold assessment and remediation.

New York mold law requires that assessors, contractors and their workers in the mold remediation industry are properly trained and licensed by January 1, 2016.

A licensed mold assessor must perform an initial assessment and final inspection for all work that may involve mold remediation or disturbance.

Mold removal and cleanup work must be performed by a licensed remediation contractor.

Violations of the law will incur civil penalties in amounts ranging from $2,000 to $10,000.

The bill specifically prohibits a person licensed to perform mold-related services from acting as both the mold assessment contractor and the mold remediation contractor.

Flatley Read, LLC offers all three NYS Mold Disciplines:

  • Assessment

Trainings will be held in Schuylerville, Schenectady, and Watervliet starting in November 2015.

Class schedules will be available here at FlatleyReadLLC.com
