If the Contractor fails to correct Work that does not meet the requirements of the Contract or fails to carry out Work in accordance with the Contract, the Land Bank may stop the Work, or any portion thereof, until the cause for such stoppage has been eliminated or remedied by the Contractor. The right of the Land Bank to stop the Work shall not require the Land Bank to exercise this right for the benefit of the Contractor or any other person or entity.

7. Termination for Cause. This Contract may be terminated by either party for cause if the other party is in material breach of its obligations under this Contract and such breach continues un-remedied for more than seven (7) days after the defaulting party receives written notice stating the specific item or items of material breach under this Contract from the other party. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the Land Bank may terminate this Contract for cause if the Contractor fails to supply enough properly skilled workers with proper materials; fails to make required payment to vendors or subcontractors for materials or labor; or disregards applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, rules and regulations, or lawful orders

Report Overview

Scope of Inspection

"Mold assessment" means an inspection or assessment of real property that is

designed to discover mold, conditions that facilitate mold, indication of conditions

that are likely to facilitate mold, or any combination thereof.” Molds are a part of

the natural environment and are simple, microscopic organisms whose purpose is

to break down dead materials. Mold can be found on plants, dry leaves, and just

about every other organic material. Mold spores are lightweight and are spread by

air currents. If spores land on a suitable surface, they will begin to grow. In order

to thrive, mold requires four things to grow. They are: water, organic materials,

oxygen, and an optimum temperature between 40 and 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Mold

growth is often seen as a discoloration and can grow in several different colors.

The most common are white, orange, pink, blue, green, black, or brown.

State of Occupancy

Vacant

Weather Conditions

Clear

Recent Rain

Yes



Executive Summary

A limited Mold Assessment was conducted, meaning the assessment is limited to

the area(s) described in the body of this report. Microbial growth was visually

discovered in the following affected areas: Basement, first floor, second floor

and attic. Total square footage of the area is approximately 2600 Square feet.

Microbial growth was hypothesized on extended vacancy, roof leak, moisture

intrusion and lack of ventilation.

Scope of Work

CHB Inspections LLC recommends professional remediation of the microbial

growth in the above described affected area. Work to include but not limited to:

1. Treatment/removal of contaminated materials including floor coverings and

drywall/paneling to NYS and or industry standards. Clean remaining walls,

ceilings, ductwork and objects in the room(s) that are not discarded with

anti-microbial solution.

2. Install containment barriers separating impacted regions from unaffected

portions of home.

3. Set up and run appropriate negative air machine exhausted to the exterior for

duration of project to maintain a minimum of 4 air changes per hour in

affected area.

4. Run XL sized dehumidifier in containment area if necessary to remove

excess moisture and bring down humidity to industry acceptable levels.

Moisture penetration and possible increased ventilation solutions as directed

by qualified contractor are recommended but not part of the clearance

requirements.

5. HEPA vacuum all areas of growth.

6. Apply anti-microbial to all impacted surfaces.

7. Negative air machines, commercial air scrubbers and dehumidifiers to run

for additional 1-2 days or as necessary following all remediation and

removal until clearance approval given by Assessor.



CHB Inspections LLC also requires remediation company forward

a copy of the work plan and dates of work scheduled prior to start

of work in order to adequately prepare for clearance inspection

while containment is in place.

Location of Visible Mold

Location: Basement



Attic



First Floor:



Second Floor



Source of Moisture Resolution

Resolution:

1. All sources of moisture should be determined and resolved. Without repair

the possibility for mold growth to reoccur is highly likely. Therefore, I

recommend contacting a qualified contractor to evaluate and repair as

necessary if this is not done by the remediation company. This work should

occur before mold remediation is initiated or directly following. If any delay

regarding repairs occur after mold remediation, the possibility of mold

growth may reoccur. Voiding any warranties the remediation company may

provide.



Cost Estimate of Remediation

The estimated of cost for remediation in the area of complaint is $25,000-$32,000.

It is always recommended that you have your professional remediator visit the site

in question to provide you with a detailed cost proposal as this is only a broad

estimate and may in fact be high.



Clearance Criteria

For a project to achieve clearance, a post remediation assessment IS REQUIRED

BY NYS LAW to be performed and is an additional fee. The assessment must

ensure that the area is free of visible mold growth and meets the specified

clearance criteria. CHB Inspections requests the following clearance criteria to be

met for the post remediation assessment.

Criteria

• Absence of visible fungal growth within the containment/affected areas.

• Absence of visible dust and debris within the containment/affected areas.

• If “Mold Resistant Coating” is used, complete coverage of all fungal growth

must be shown. Bleed through of black staining from the fungal growth may

occur.

• If a mold encapsulation coating is not applied then testing may be necessary

to verify and validate the antimicrobial detergent was used to kill the mold. A

minimum two tape lift or air cassette samples are necessary and the number of

samples is at the discretion of the assessor.

• If a fogging process is used to remediate the visible fungal growth, then

testing is required to verify validate the mold is dead.

• Complete removal of waste bags and/or debris, related to mold remediation.

• The pathway (non-containment/affect area) for transporting all remediation

equipment and waste bags should be absence of visible dust, debris, and fungal

growth.

• If insulation is required to be removed from the region, the expectation is

that those areas will be fully and completely remediated.

• All actions proposed per the remediation company’s project scope of work

are complete.



Remediation Project Overview

Overview

• This pre-assessment is considered a limited assessment, meaning no other

areas in the house were evaluated.

• Mold remediation of the affected region shall be performed by a New York

State Licensed Mold Remediation company.

• Copies of the NYS licenses of the remediators and abators who will be work

at the project site shall be provided to prior to performing the remediation project.

• The NYS license remediation company shall present their relevant project

instructions to the client for performing mold remediation, applying biocides,

hazard communications.

• All work performed should be based upon the most current industry

wearing appropriate safety personal protective equipment that is consistent with

the manufacturers recommended instructions for mixing. The term biocides refers

to an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) registered product such as Foster

[Quaternary ammonium chloride] or similar. The term fungicide refers to a EPA

registered Fungicide Protective Coating {such as Foster 40-20] that meets National

Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) 90A and 90B 25/50 requirements. The biocides

and fungicides will be applied by an electric airless spray gun or other methods

approved by the fungicide manufacture. At the completion of the removal, and

following final clearance, the mold abatement worker shall apply the biocides to all

previously cleaned hard surfaces and subsequently the fungicide surface with in the

work area. The mold abatement worked shall ensure that materials are applied in

accordance with manufacturing labeling instructions. The mold remediation

contractor is to stop use of all biocides and fungicides immediately if it is found

that these chemicals are causing allergic reaction to the building occupants. Mold

remediation contractor should consult the manufactures labeling instruction to

ensure proper use of the chemical. The entire operation shall be observed,

monitored, and inspected by the mold remediation contractor.



• Notification and posting (hazard communications) shall be in accordance

with the NYS license remediation company’s project instructions. Examples may

consist of but not limited to, posting mold remediation is occurring, entrance and

Report OverviewGeneral Information

1. A home inspection and resulting report is a snapshot in time and in no way a prediction or guarantee of future performance of any of a home's components or systems. It conveys the home's condition only for the date and time of the inspection. Numerous changes can and may have occurred in the home between the inspection date and when you move in. 2. Numerous areas of the structure such as attics, basements, crawlspaces, walls, floors and other surfaces may have been inaccessible or obstructed during the inspection by furniture and/or stored items. CHB Inspections makes every attempt to do the most thorough inspection while being non-intrusive, as mandated by State law. 3. This report is not a guarantee or warranty as to the absence of wood destroying organisms or rodents, nor is it a guarantee that the inspector found all areas where wood destroying organisms or rodents dwell, or any damage that may exist. Wood destroying organisms or rodents may exist in concealed or inaccessible areas. This report is not a structural integrity report and there is no warranty, expressed or implied, included in this report. 4. Property disclaimer: This home inspection does not determine the boundaries of the property or whether appropriate permits for additions or improvements have been obtained and closed out with the local Building Department. Also, this report does not address title or zoning issues, easements, covenants, deed restrictions and the like. These issues should be addressed by your title search company and/or your Attorney. This report does not determine the value of the property or the comparative value to similar homes in or around the area. A "competitive market analysis" (CMA) can be obtained from your Realtor. 5. Recommendation: After moving into the house, it is strongly recommend to have the locks changed or re-keyed if applicable. Over the years, previous owners may have distributed the keys to family and friends. A new set of locks would ensure privacy and security. If the house has remote garage door openers, we also recommend changing the access code(s) as well. 6. If you're reading this report but did not hire CHB Inspections to perform the original inspection, CHB Inspections has no fiduciary responsibility to anyone other than the original client. Please note that it is likely the conditions related to the home have probably changed, even if the report is fairly recent. Just as you cannot rely on an outdated weather report, you should not rely on an outdated inspection report. Minor problems noted may have become worse, recent events may have created new issues, and items may even have been corrected and improved. 7. Photos in this report may only be representative of defects and not indicate them in their entirety. 8. A Home inspection is NOT a code compliance inspection. For code compliance questions contact your local building department or code enforcement officer.

RoofDescription

Comments Often roofs are not accessible for safety or other reasons. These may include; the roof is wet, frost or snow covered, or the roof is too steep or too high. Inspections that do not involve walking on the roof surface are not as reliable as those that are performed by other methods and there are limitations to the inspection. Only Visible/Accessible areas of chimneys, flues and caps can be inspected and reported on. The approximate remaining life of the roof covering can be affected by many factors such as weather conditions, etc. In our opinion its a wild guess to tell someone how much longer their cover may last nor can we tell you exactly how old a roof is without proper installation documentation. What I will do is tell you it's current condition and my opinion on replacement or repair needs. Clients are advised to consult a roofing expert for a professional opinion if they are concerned about these limitations.

General

Comments -Skylights and their seals that prevent water intrusion age in the same fashion as shingles on a roof. It is recommended that skylights be changed at the same time a roof is replaced in order to prevent any future leakage.

Plumbing Vents


Comments -It is recommended if and when you update your roof covering that you have your roofing contractor install new weather resistant boots around any vents that exist.




KitchenDescription

Description Inspection of Kitchens typically includes (limited) operation and visual inspection of the following: range/cooktop (basic functions, anti-tip); range hood (fan, lights, type); dishwasher and permanently installed microwaves. For Your Information: Due to the unpredictable and latent nature of appliance problems, no warranty can be provided that appliances will not develop problems after the inspection. An inspection does not include the identification of, or research for, appliances and other items that may have been recalled or have had a consumer safety alert issued about it. Product recalls and consumer product safety alerts are added almost daily by the Consumer Product Safety Commission. I recommend visiting the following Internet site if recalls are a concern to you: http://www.cpsc.gov

RoomsDescription

Comments The inspector is performing a visual inspection and will report visible damage, and moisture problems if visible. A representative number of doors and windows will also be investigated for damage and normal operation if not blocked. Although excluded from inspection requirements, we will inform you of obvious broken gas seals in windows. Please realize that they are not always visible, due to temperature, humidity, window coverings, light source, etc. Personal items in the structure may prevent the inspector from viewing all areas. All exposed walls, doors, windows, ceilings and floors will be inspected if clutter does not hinder our view. I highly recommend taking another look once personal belongings are removed or have a re-inspection.

PlumbingDescription

It is important to stress that unforeseen leaks can occur at any time, especially if the home is vacant for a period of time, and no warranty can be provided that leaks will not develop after inspection. Because of minerals and other contaminants found in the water, the replacement of the sacrificial anode every 3-5 years to help maintain and possibly extendthe life of the water heater is recommended. If a Septic System is on the property, pumping is generally recommended prior to purchase, and then every three-five years. It is recommended that you have the main waste line inspected by a qualified contractor to determine if there is any blockage that may not be detectable during a home inspection.

Heating SystemDescription

The HVAC system may be powered by electricity, natural gas, oil, propane, solar panels, or wood. Certain areas of the heat exchanger are not visible without invasive dismantling of components, if this is a concern, a qualified heating specialist should be contacted. There is no warranty in any way on any inspected component including furnace heat exchangers, which can crack at any time without warning; boilers which are functioning at the time of the inspection may develop leaks or fail without warning. Electronic components of heating systems, especially computer mother-boards, can fail at any time and without warning; regular maintenance of the boiler or furnace and cleaning of the heating ducts is highly recommended and will help reduce the risk but cannot prevent failure. The inspector will usually test the heating and air conditioner using the thermostat or other controls. For a more thorough investigation of the system please contact a qualified HVAC service person.

Other systems

Comments -Multiple radiators are damaged, recommend repair or replacement as necessary.




Electric SystemDescription

Due to limitations of time and scope, branch circuit load analysis and breaker-outlet tracing is not part of a home inspection. Recommend testing smoke and/or carbon monoxide detectors on a monthly basis to ensure operation of units. It is Important to replace smoke detectors by the expiration dates (average smoke detector life span is about 10yrs). Some bathrooms may have what appear to be non-GFCI outlets but are actually protected by a GFCI outlet in a remote area (garage, another bath, etc.). Any home that has a Bulldog Pushmatic, Zinsco, Sylvania Zinsco or Federal Pacific Stab-Loc Electric panel should have it evaluated by a licensed electrician, as these older types of panels and breakers have been known to overheat, breakers not trip when overloaded, and in some cases have caused house fires.
