Terms
These terms cover the use of this website and the introduction service it provides. They are short on purpose. Read them before you send a request.
What this site is
This site takes requests from residents, homeowners, tenants, landlords, boards and managing agents in Yonkers and the Saw Mill and Hudson corridor towns around it, and arranges mold assessment, mold remediation and water damage drying work. We arrange the work. We do not perform it, we do not price it, we do not supervise it and we do not warrant it. The work is carried out by contractors holding the New York State license for the activity concerned, who contract with you directly.
New York publishes its register of licensed mold assessment and mold remediation contractors, and Westchester County requires home improvement contractors to hold a county license and maintains the list of them. You are encouraged to look up anybody you are introduced to before you sign anything.
The order the law sets
New York licenses mold assessment and mold remediation as two separate activities. Labor Law section 930 counts a job as a project only above ten square feet; above that line, section 936 forbids one licensee from carrying out both halves at the same property and forbids anyone from holding an ownership interest in both firms there, and section 947 requires the assessment licensee to issue a written passed clearance report before the work is signed off. Your job therefore runs in a fixed sequence. Nothing on this site is an offer to shortcut it, because it cannot lawfully be shortcut. Building work that follows, once the water route has been found, is separate again and sits with the city's own Department of Housing and Buildings and with the county home improvement contractor license.
Prices, and the credit
We do not set or control what a contractor charges. The New York State Department of Labor says a remediation cost estimate should not be provided in the absence of an assessment, because the remediator works from the assessor's written plan, so any indication of cost given before that point is an indication and nothing more. The binding number comes from the contractor once the plan exists.
The $100 credit advertised on this site is funded by us out of our own fee on a booked job. It is not a reduction of the contractor's price, and the contractor quotes and invoices their normal price in the ordinary way. Its full terms are set out at the foot of this page.
This site is not legal advice
The pages here describe in general terms how mold work is regulated in New York, what a Westchester landlord has to disclose about flooding, and what a tenant may do about it. They are not legal advice about your lease, your proprietary lease, your insurance policy, your notice or your dispute with a landlord, a tenant or a board, and reading them creates no professional relationship of any kind. A deadline you have been given runs on its own terms whatever this site says. Where a decision turns on the answer, take advice from a lawyer.
Information on these pages
The regulatory, flood, housing and climate statements on this site carry a visible source and the date it was checked. They are published so you can work out what to do next. They are not a substitute for an inspection of the property itself, and nothing here is medical advice. Sources change, and a flood record is a record of what was reported rather than a complete account of what happened. Where a statement matters to a decision you are making, follow the link and check it yourself.
Limits
We make the introduction. The contractor performs the work, holds the license and the insurance for it, and agrees the scope, the price and the timetable with you. Responsibility for the standard of the work, for the schedule, and for anything that goes wrong while it is being done, rests with the contractor who did it and with the agreement you signed with them.
Acceptable use
Do not send requests for properties you have no connection to, do not send false contact details, and do not use the form for commercial solicitation.
Changes
These terms may be updated. The version published here is the one that applies.
The $100 credit
We credit $100 against the first job you book through this site. The credit is funded by us, not by the contractor who carries out the work. The contractor quotes and invoices their own normal price for the job; the $100 is credited by us out of the fee we take once the job is booked and quoted, and the contractor is told about the credit when we hand the job over.
One credit per customer per property, on the first booked job. The credit applies once the job is booked and quoted, not to a quotation on its own.
To claim it, mention this offer when you book. Requesting a quote through this site records the offer against your request, and we confirm it with you before the job is booked, so nothing is lost if you forget to raise it first.
The offer is valid through December 31, 2026. The job must be booked on or before that date. We do not set or control the contractor's price, and this credit is not a reduction of that price.
