Mold Removal in Opa-locka, for Tenants and Their Landlords

If you rent in Opa-locka and have found mold, we can tell you what it needs and who is responsible for arranging it, which is usually the owner. Seven in ten Opa-locka households rent, the highest share of any town we cover, and most homes are in buildings put up before 1980.

Tell us what you can see or smell, where it is, and whether it is a condo or a house. Those three answers decide who you need and who is likely responsible, which matters more here than the size of the stain.

Six short questions, then your details. Under a minute, and they are the questions that decide who you actually need, and who is likely responsible.

Question 1What are you dealing with?
Question 2What kind of building is it?

In Miami-Dade this changes who hires whom. In a condo or townhouse the association may be responsible for part of the building and you for the rest, so the first answer we give depends on this one.

Question 3Where do you think the water came from?

If it came from a neighboring unit or from the building itself, say so. It usually decides who pays, and a written finding about the source is worth having before anything is removed.

Question 4Is anything still wet?

EPA guidance is to dry wet materials within 24 to 48 hours. Inside that window this is usually a drying job. Past it, it may be a mold job.

Question 5What is your connection to the property?
Question 6How soon do you want someone on it?
You, and the property this is about

Who should we ask for?

How can we reach you?

Renting in Opa-locka: who arranges the assessor and the repair

Opa-locka issues its own permits for folios beginning 08, and in a rented home it is normally the owner who hires the assessor, the remediator and whoever pulls that permit. So a tenant's first step is a written report to the landlord, dated, with photos, and a copy kept for yourself. The stock is old: 36.6 percent of units predate 1960 and 64.5 percent predate 1980, and about a third are in buildings of 20 or more units, where an association may also need to be told. On the flood side, about a third of the city's buildings are in zones AE or AH, and Opa-locka's Community Rating System class is 10, which carries no flood insurance discount at all, so an owner should price a flood policy at its real cost rather than a neighboring city's.
