Mold Remediation · The Bronx
Mold in rented apartments, walk-up bathrooms, top-floor ceilings and wet basements. We trace the water that feeds it, take the mold out under containment, and close the walls back up.
What We Do
We start with the water, not the stain. Kill the spot without stopping the moisture behind it and the mold grows back.
From there, one company handles the whole job, from the first look to the finished wall. The inspection and the estimate are free. All Star Restoration does mold remediation in the Bronx around the clock. Call 646-543-2242 to set it up.
Attics and crawl spaces are part of the work too, and our full list of mold services covers each type.
Start To Finish
Call 646-543-2242 at any hour. A crew usually gets there in 30 minutes to an hour and a half, depending on the hour and traffic.
EPA says mold can trigger asthma in some people who are sensitive to it. If anyone at home has asthma, tell us at the start so we can plan where they stay during the work.
In The Building
Most Bronx homes are rented, so a mold job here usually involves more people than the person who called. Each one hears from us.
Under Local Law 55, any building with three or more apartments must be kept mold free by its owner, who also has to repair whatever is causing the mold. HPD tells tenants to report leaks and mold to the landlord first, and to use 311 if nothing is done. Our guide to mold in a rented apartment covers both sides in more detail.
Over 10 Square Feet
New York State's mold licensing law, Article 32 of the Labor Law, covers any hired mold job larger than 10 square feet, in a private house as much as an apartment building. It also says no licensee may assess and remediate the same property. A homeowner working on their own property is exempt.
The city adds a rule for bigger buildings. In a building with 10 or more apartments, Local Law 61 of 2018 says the owner, the managing agent and their own staff can't do mold work over 10 square feet themselves; it has to go to outside licensed firms.
On any job over 10 square feet, here's how the roles split:
On smaller jobs under 10 square feet, no assessor is needed, and we still contain and clean the same careful way.
Shoreline Houses
Some Bronx mold calls come from houses near the water, in places like City Island and Throgs Neck, where flooding soaks the bottom of the drywall, the carpet pad and the wood behind the baseboards. We pull the soaked material, run dehumidifiers and check readings every day, since our guide on how fast mold grows after water damage shows how little time wet walls give you. If mold has already started, it comes out under containment, and the area is cleaned and checked before anything is rebuilt.

Paint doesn't dry a wall. If the moisture behind it is still there, the mold grows right back through. Report it again in writing, and if nothing changes, HPD points tenants to 311.
For one wall or one bathroom, usually yes. The enclosure and negative air keep dust inside the work zone. If someone in the home has a health condition, check with their doctor, and tell us so we can plan around them.
No. We also take mold jobs in Bronx co-ops, condos, two-family houses and single-family homes. Owners can call us directly, and the inspection and estimate are free. If the mold followed a leak or a fire, our Bronx water damage and Bronx fire damage pages cover that side of the job.
About a patch three feet wide by three and a half feet tall. Mold inside a wall is often larger than the stain on the paint, which is why we map the wet area with meters before anyone cuts.
Yes. Mold is often the second half of a leak or a flood, and we handle the drying, cleanup and rebuild as well. Our Bronx restoration services page lists everything we do in the borough.
