In Ardsley the Licensed Firm in the Village Is the One That Cannot Remove It
Ardsley is the one village on this site where the licensee in town is the assessor rather than the remover, and that changes the order of the job.

What an Ardsley removal actually involves on the ground
Plan for a whole house rather than a single unit. Of Ardsley's 1,728 housing units, 1,234, about 71 percent, are single family detached and only 193 predate 1940, with 715 built in the 1950s. So the typical removal here is an owner authorizing work in their own house, which is simpler than a co-op but means you are the one arranging where people sleep, where the waste goes and how the rest of the house is kept away from the containment. That 1950s date still puts the paint before 1978, so the federal lead rule reaches the demolition and the dust control it calls for belongs in the method. Ask for the containment plan, the waste route and the clearance appointment to be quoted together, because those three are where a fixed price quietly becomes an estimate.
The local license is the assessment one
One assessment license and no remediation license at Ardsley addresses and in 10502. Book the removal crew's dates early.
Mostly whole houses, mostly owner occupied
1,234 of 1,728 units are single family detached, so you authorize the work and you also arrange life around it.
1950s paint is still pre-1978
About 41 percent of the village went up in that decade, which puts lead-safe practices into the method.

The separation rule of Article 32 sits in Labor Law section 936: one licensee is barred from carrying out both the assessment and the remediation at a single property, and nobody is permitted to hold an ownership interest in the assessing firm and the remediating firm at that same property.

The Westchester County Department of Consumer Protection advises home improvement contractors, renovators and painters that since 22 April 2010 the US Environmental Protection Agency has required contractors disturbing lead-based paint in homes, child care facilities and schools built before 1978 to hold EPA lead-safe renovator certification and to follow lead-safe work practices.

The New York State Department of Labor states that cost estimates for mold remediation projects should not be provided in the absence of a mold assessment, because quoting a price before an independent assessment removes the consumer protection the separation of the two roles exists to give.

Labor Law section 947 requires a mold assessment licensee to carry out a post-remediation assessment, to confirm that the work area is free from all visible mold and that the work matches the remediation plan, and to issue a written passed clearance report, or, where it has not worked, a written final status report to both the client and the remediation licensee.

What mold remediation involves in Ardsley
Who can lawfully do the removal at an Ardsley address
The register turns the usual problem upside down in Ardsley. It shows one active mold assessment contractor license and no active mold remediation contractor license at an Ardsley address, and the same pattern inside ZIP code 10502. Across most of this corridor the scarce half is the assessor. Here the independent half is the one that is local and the crew doing the physical work is the one traveling in, which is workable, because Labor Law section 936 would bar the two roles from being the same firm at your property anyway. What it changes is the sequence you should be booking, and how early.

What Ardsley owners ask about getting the mold out
Should I get the price before the assessment?
The state labor department's position is that cost estimates for remediation should not be provided without an assessment, because quoting before an independent party has measured the problem removes the protection the two role split exists to give. Treat a number arrived at that way as a sales figure rather than a scope.
Who comes back at the end?
An assessment licensee with no part in the removal. Section 947 requires a post remediation assessment confirming the area is free from visible mold and that the work matches the plan, and a written passed clearance report, or a final status report where it has not worked.
