Mold Guides for Inwood & Upper Manhattan
Practical mold guides for Inwood, Washington Heights and Marble Hill, written by a remediation company that only works in Upper Manhattan. Each guide answers one real question we hear from renters, owners and landlords in the neighborhood’s pre-war buildings.
Most mold in Inwood starts with moisture: steam heat and closed windows in winter, old risers and roof leaks, below-grade basements along Broadway and the Dyckman corridor. In 2025, Inwood filed about three times Manhattan’s rate of 311 mold complaints per apartment, and October is the peak month (see our local data). These guides cover what you can handle yourself, what your landlord or insurer is responsible for, and when to call a professional.
