When Can I and When Can't I Self Certify an HPD Mold Violation

An HPD mold violation cannot be self addressed or self certified if both of the following conditions exist: 
  • Class B or Class C Violation(Class B is mold > 10 sf and Class C is mold > 30 sf)
  • Building is ten (10) units or more.
In this scenario, the building needs to involve a NY State Licensed Mold Assessor AND a SEPARATE NY State Licensed Mold Remediation Contractor.  You can read more about this here.  

If, on the other hand, the violation does not meet one  aforementioned conditions,  than the building may self address and self certify.
