Does The Selby Have Mold?
You can decide for yourself.
Everything I’m sharing is based solely on my experience living at the Selby and interacting with its team and ownership.
Several independent mold tests showed extremely high levels of mold in my apartment.
When I first notified management that my test results showed there was a mold issue in my apartment, I was told by management that “Mold is considered dangerous only when its concentration exceeds ten times the level found in outdoor air. ” Further testing reported that air samples taken inside my apartment had Aspergillus/Penicillium mold concentrations more than 3, 000 times higher than the mold levels found in the outside air.
Over the course of the following several months, this happened:
1. Visible mold was discovered on a baseboard in my apartment in the presence of management, their maintenance staff, and their mold inspector. Swab samples were taken by both parties and analyzed. I provided my lab results; they have not.
2. I notified management that I have an anaphylactic allergy to penicillin and Penicillium mold.
3. I notified management that I was withholding rent while the mold conditions remained unresolved.
4. I requested intervention from the Town of Hempstead. They inspected my apartment and issued a “Notice of Violation” to management.
5. Management offered a HOTEL ROOM at The Selby while repairs (not mold remediation) were to be done in my apartment. I agreed, on the condition that the hotel room be TESTED FOR MOLD.
6. Following mold testing, results were not shared, the accommodation was withdrawn, and the scheduled repair work in my apartment was canceled without explanation.
7. While the violations remained unaddressed, the mold conditions persisted and my symptoms worsened.
8. For my safety, I relocated to a hotel, and The Selby began rent collection efforts.
9. After I raised habitability concerns, including violations of State Laws and Town Codes, their legal counsel notified me that rent collection efforts were placed on hold.
10. Because management maintained that there was no mold issue, I decided to test for MOLD BETWEEN THE WALLS and in the ceiling. The results revealed significantly higher concentrations of mold, including Chaetomium and Stachybotrys (BLACK MOLD).
11. I was heartbroken when a licensed mold remediation contractor determined that, due to the severity of the mold contamination, nearly everything I owned was unsalvageable and had to be left behind.
12. Management was notified that my belongings were not abandoned, but deemed unsalvageable due to mold contamination.
13. I remained in active communication with management and ownership, providing supporting documentation, and shared the results with senior management and the OWNERS of The Selby, until my emails were abruptly blocked by their servers.
14. Shortly after, a “HOLDOVER” eviction petition (not for nonpayment of rent) was filed in Landlord-Tenant Court, and a “Notice of Court Date” was served to an apartment they knew I was no longer residing in. A default judgment was entered solely because I was unaware of the court date.
When I later appeared before the judge, he read the mold levels into the record and advised me to take the matter to Supreme Court.
My belongings were ultimately discarded. It wasn’t just furniture. It was years of memories and personal belongings that I had gathered over a lifetime.
There are no current legal barriers preventing the presentation of any inspection findings or reports. The only results ever provided to me by management were from a microscopic analysis of a piece of drywall that did not contain visible mold. No air sample results, swab sample results, or hotel room test results were provided.
Я полагалась на их репутацию, выбирая жилье за 9500 долларов в месяц, и мой опыт резко контрастировал с тем, чего я ожидала.
