Black Mold

single mommy asked:


I have lived in my apartment for 8 days now and i have told the office that there’s an enormous amount of black mold ALL over the tile of my bathtub. I had told them about it 3 days before i moved in and i see that they came in a caulked over the existing mold because you can see right through it but its still on the walls. there is some in ceiling too. all this issues were suppose to be taken care of before i moved in. can i break my lease if they don’t handle the problem? Im pregnant and i have a young child as well and ive been going to my parents to bathe because im so grossed out by it. can i go to the board of health? im pretty clueless about the whole situation.

I live on the third floor in an apartment building. Few years ago, part of my shower wall broke and expose the inner wall. The maintain people didn’t show up till a month or more. In that month period, I did try to cover it but one day water seep through the hole causing water damage to the second floor and than again but worst water damage to the first floor. The maintain people did a crappy job on the shower wall because they didn’t look for mold, which most people know any water not dry within 48 hour most likely u get mold and they didn’t seal around the bathtub right because water seep through cause farther damage. I keep complaining about the bathtub is sinking but no one believe me…all they did and put more sealing around the bathtub but water always seep in. I keep saying the mold eating the wood supporting the bathtub….Now after years later I was taking a shower and hear a noise and saw the crack in the corner of my bath tub just got bigger and I felt the tub is now a little more slanted. I put a complain in tonight and hopefully they will fix it and do a good job.

Now I stressed out wondering how are they going fix it?
Is it going to affect my neighbors?
What if there toxic mold?

The following picture is taken through the heating vent and shows what appears to be something orange growing in the wood that is underneath my carpet in the house.

Do you think it is mold? and if so, what kind is it most likely and is it toxic? I also saw ants walking near it. Any help would be great. Thanks

I live in the basement part of a really old apartment complex….what are my legal options? Its in the corner of my 4 month old’s bedroom! Isn’t that stuff super toxic?
i just called and left a message with maintenance before i posted this , but im worried they will just paint over it. and i also heard bleach just kills the surface of black mold, not the source. what can i do to insure its gone?
i have a 4 month old baby.. it’s in her bedroom… lol.
i don’t want to sue him, i want it to be gone and not half assed so it grows back a month later. I’m not a sue happy freak like you might think, just a mother worried about the safety of her baby.
