What Hastings-on-Hudson holds on your property, and what it does not
Hastings-on-Hudson gave the county an unusually candid answer. The village said it uses a commercial flood risk website to identify flood prone homes but does not maintain a list of private properties damaged in extreme weather events, that no substantial damage determinations have been made during recent flooding, and that no properties have been mitigated. A commercial risk score is a model of a neighborhood. It is not a record of your house. The only thing that will ever be a record of your house is a dated, measured assessment with photographs behind it, and that is the argument for commissioning one here.
What to plan around before booking an inspection in Hastings
Two practical constraints. First, nobody licensed is based here: the state register shows no active mold assessment contractor and no active mold remediation contractor at a Hastings-on-Hudson address, and none within ZIP code 10706, so both halves of a lawful job are scheduled from outside and the assessor has to arrive first and return at the end. Second, the public record is thin. FEMA holds 63 claim records reported in ZIP 10706, 7 of them dated to the first days of September 2021, against a village annex recording 29 policies in force, 40 paid claims and 4 repetitive loss properties. Very little of what happens in Hastings basements ever reaches a file, which is exactly why your own should be good.
A risk website is not your building's history
The village told the county it uses a commercial site and keeps no list of damaged private properties.
No licensee in the village or the ZIP
Zero assessment and zero remediation licenses at Hastings addresses or in 10706, so book the independent half early.
Sixty three claims on record in the whole ZIP
Against 29 policies in force and 4 repetitive loss properties. Most events here leave no trace outside your own paperwork.

What a Hastings inspection leads to
What Hastings-on-Hudson owners ask before booking an inspection
Can I get my building's flood history from the village?
Not for a private property. The village told the county it keeps no such list. If you rent and signed after 15 August 2022, the owner owed you a written ten year flood history under Chapter 581 of the Laws of Westchester County, including where the water line was estimated in the premises, and that is the one document which ought to exist.
Is the inspection worth it if the patch is small?
Often not, and we would rather say so. The state health department's position is that in most cases hiring a licensed assessment contractor is unnecessary and that most people can identify and clean growth themselves. Over about ten square feet the licensed route applies and the calculation changes.
Tell us what you already have in writing
A lease disclosure, a photograph and a date are worth more than a risk score.
