A Mold Removal in Hastings-on-Hudson Gets Inspected by the Village

What a Hastings removal has to carry in its scope
Age is the second governing fact. Of 3,272 housing units in the village, 1,600, about 49 percent, were built in 1939 or earlier and 2,916, about 89 percent, by 1969, and 2,524 of 3,164 occupied units are owner occupied. Almost every strip out here therefore disturbs pre-1978 paint, and the EPA's Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule reaches anyone paid to disturb painted surfaces in a home of that age, which shapes the containment and the cleanup. On top of that, no remediation licensee is based in the village or in ZIP 10706, so the crew travels in and the independent assessor travels in separately for the plan and for the clearance. Get all three dates into the diary at once.
The village inspects the work
The Building Inspector holds the floodplain manager credential, and permit review, engineering review and inspection are all named village services.
Half the housing predates 1939
1,600 of 3,272 units. Pre-1978 paint and lead-safe practices are part of the method, not an add-on.
Nobody licensed is based in the village
No remediation or assessment license at a Hastings address or in 10706, so three separate diaries have to line up.
What Hastings village review adds to a removal timetable
The Village of Hastings-on-Hudson told the county planners that its Building Department is responsible for floodplain management, that the Building Inspector holds the floodplain manager credential, and that the village provides permit review by the Building Inspector, engineering review by the Village Engineer where applicable, inspection of work, and reference to the flood hazard maps.

The US Environmental Protection Agency states that its Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule requires anyone paid to perform work that disturbs painted surfaces in homes, child care facilities and preschools built before 1978 to hold EPA certification and to have their employees trained in lead-safe work practices, that this includes all firms down to sole proprietorships, and that in general the rule does not apply to homeowners doing the work in their own pre-1978 home.

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 Hastings-on-Hudson
Who signs and who inspects a Hastings removal
Hastings-on-Hudson runs a tighter process than most of this corridor and it is worth knowing before you plan a strip out. The village told the county that its Building Department is responsible for floodplain management, that the Building Inspector holds the floodplain manager credential, and that the village provides permit review by the Building Inspector, engineering review by the Village Engineer where applicable, inspection of work, and reference to the flood hazard maps. So the rebuild after a removal is reviewed by somebody qualified to look at it and then inspected, which is good for you and slow for anyone who has not filed.

What Hastings-on-Hudson owners ask about removal
Does the village have to be involved to take out a wet wall?
Put the scope to the Building Department and let them answer, because it turns on what is being rebuilt and whether the space sits below the flood level. The village has told the county that permit review and inspection of work are services it provides, so assume the rebuild is looked at.
Can the crew doing the removal sign it off?
No. Section 947 puts the post remediation assessment and the written passed clearance report with an assessment licensee, and section 936 keeps that licensee out of the removal firm entirely. Containment stays up until the clearance report exists.
Tell us the build year and the room
Pre-1939 and below grade is the combination that needs the most planning.
