RE: PRESS RELEASE - DOES NEW YORK REQUIRE PROPERTY OWNERS TO CLEAN UP MOLD WHEN IT IS FOUND?
No. According to the Ulster County District Attorney’s Division of Consumer Affairs, there is no cleanup requirement for property owners. However, rental property owners must still provide clean and sanitary living conditions to their tenants, per the warranty of habitability.
