Full remediation of mold and pests—two of the leading causes of poor air quality in New York City Housing Authority units and two benchmarks of the 2019 Department of Housing and Urban Development's federal monitor agreement—takes too long to correct, NYCHA officials testified Tuesday at a City Council oversight hearing. There are an estimated 35,860 open work orders for mold impacting 16,294 apartments, said Daniel Greene, NYCHA's senior vice president for healthy homes. Under a federal agreement and its Mold Action Plan, the agency is required to meet a recurrence metric and a time and completion metric for mold abatement. Despite initiatives from the agency, it still takes on average 290 days to close the "parent" mold work order—the inspection and cleaning—before the full scope of work meant to address the underlying causes has even begun. Under the agreement, NYCHA is required to complete "simple" mold repairs within five days, and "complex...

Photo: istockphoto.com Highlights A home AC unit recharge has a typical cost range of $200 to $500, with a national average cost of $300. The total cost can vary based on several factors, including the type and size of the unit, the type of refrigerant it requires, and the cost of labor. Homeowners may need to have their home AC unit recharged if it is running but not cooling the house or if they notice increased energy bills, hissing or bubbling sounds, or the presence of frost.

And problems with damp and mould are likely to be even greater due to soaring energy bills and the cost of living crisis.
