What New York requires
New York does not have a statewide mold remediation license, but the state has established mold assessment and remediation guidelines. New York City has Local Law 55, which requires building owners to remediate mold conditions in occupied buildings and follow specific work practices based on the size of the affected area. Contractors should follow the New York State Department of Health mold guidelines.
Homeowner policies in New York generally cover mold from sudden water damage events. New York's diverse climate zones create varying mold risks, from coastal humidity downstate to freeze-thaw cycles upstate. Many policies cap mold coverage, and additional endorsements may be needed.
