Re: HVAC Mold Inspections

Yeah - well, things have just gotten more difficult for people in
New York City where the mayor has been pushing a bill that would
require people/organizations to get permits from the police to do
environmental testing... I'm not sure that owners will be required
to follow this, but non-owners certainly would be.

If that passed, it will now be ILLEGAL to do environmental testing
without proper permitting, whatever that is going to be and cost.

We can all pretty much agree that the POLICE DEPARTMENT is
unlikely to be a good organization to regulate the permitting of
environmental testing, can't we?

RD - maybe you could write to Bloomberg to tell him that -in your
professional experience- individuals *must* test because they are
responsible for their own health. Could you do that for us, please?
