The presence of hold lease addendum in Schermerchorn lease agreement clearly indicate that Schermerchorn Residental Holdings, LP are aware of occurrence and growth of mold on it's premises. Schemerchorn management require residents to remove mold growth with household cleaning solutions and if mold growth persist after resident has tried several times !!! to remove it than resident shall notify managment. However landlord fails to inform tenant about healyh hazards included with mold removal in accordance with the rules and regulations of BOARD OF HEALTH. Tenant has right to know about the hazard he is exposed, lanlord should make tenant aware of hazards and provide with information about hazard tenant may ancounter. Mold growth which occure in our apartment inside closet the second floor as a resault of poor wall insulation, falling out windows, cold temperature of the floor coming from unheated foyer downstairs and improper ventilation due to wrong type of door install cause my wife to become ill and as result of it she was rushed to emergency and hospitalized. The cost of emergency services at Glens Falls Hospital was $ 1,087.13.
My writen request for reimbursement has been denied by Schemerchorn Real Estate Holdings based on the facts that the lease addendum relating to the mold clearly indicates that the tenant is responsible for taking protective measures to avoid situations that may create mold??? Schemerchorn managment, inc. considering this to be the final resolution to this issue.
