Condo Q&A

Sickened by mold caused by flooding

The crawl space in my townhome has flooded several times. The last time was in May of 2015.

My neighbor has the only sump pump for the entire building of 5 units, and the water is supposed to run to it. Each time it has flooded, the property management company ignores my requests to install a sump pump and spray a mold inhibitor down there.

Now, I am very ill and my doctors suspect I am reacting to mold. I told the board this, and they said they are discussing whether they are responsible for the moisture/mold testing and remediation at the next meeting. Is there anything I can do?
