Mold Victims Group Reports Toxic Mold Harms Family in Gleneagles Apartment in Scottsdale, Arizona

By: PRLog
The Mold Victims Rights Association has announced that a family living in the Alliance Residential-managed Gleneagles Apartments in Scottsdale, Arizona, has been exposed to dangerous, health-damaging levels of Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, and Penicillium mold species.

PRLog - May 28, 2013 - SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- The Mold Victim Rights Association has reported that toxic mold infestation in an apartment in the Alliance Residential, LLC-managed Gleneagles Apartment Homes complex, 8275 E. Bell Rd., Scottsdale, Arizona, may possibly have harmed the health of the tenant family (according to the tenants and medical mold blood testing) because of Alliance’s failure to:

(1) properly maintain the apartment building (and thus causing roof leaks and significant toxic mold infestation therein);

(2) do professional, thorough, effective, and safe remediation of the toxic mold-infested apartment; and

(3) pay for the Alliance-authorized mold decontamination of the tenants’ personal possessions and the Alliance-promised family relocation  out of the Gleneagles complex after very dangerous levels of toxic mold infestation were discovered in the mold inspection and mold testing of the tenants’ apartment on May 2, 2013.

The tenants have reported to Certified Mold Inspector Phillip Fry that they and their three very young sons (including an 8 month old infant) may possibly be experiencing a wide variety of health problems that may be possibly related to exposure to the elevated levels of toxic mold growth in their apartment.  

Gleneagles had previously arranged for limited mold remediation of the tenants’ apartment, but the tenants were concerned because of the unprofessional conduct and work by the possibly untrained and unsupervised mold remediation workers. As a result, the tenants hired independent mold expert Phillip Fry to do what is called “clearance testing” to determine if the mold infestation problems had been satisfactorily removed and remediated by the mold workers.

Phillip Fry is also a Certified Environmental Hygienist and Certified Mold Remediator.  Mr. Fry was one of the first full-time mold inspectors in the USA by beginning his nationwide mold inspection career in 1999. Fry is the author of five mold advice books, and he is the webmaster since 1999 of one of the internet’s most prominent mold websites www.moldinspector.com.
A piece of the removed moldy drywall was saved by tenants. Fry sent a piece from the moldy paper covering on that drywall sample to a certified mold laboratory, which analyzed the submitted “bulk sample” and concluded that the bulk sample contained “Heavy” spore estimates of the three most dangerous indoor mold species: Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Stachybotrys.

One of the Fry mold tests in the tenants’ apartment was a five minute air test (75 liters of air sampled) of the living room air. Despite the ongoing, around-the-clock operation of a mold remediation company air scrubber in the living room, the air test lab results discovered 75 spores of the highly dangerous mold species Aspergillus and Penicillium, plus 48 spores of the extremely dangerous Stachybotrys mold species.  

Stachybotrys mold is especially dangerous because of its reported destruction of the brain tissue of mold victims.  The mold lab projected that each cubic meter of the living room air contained 1,000 spores of Aspergillus-Penicillium spores, and 640 Stachybotrys spores.  

Based on the above-stated mold lab results, Fry recommended in his mold inspection report that the entire family obtain immediate medical doctor evaluation and treatment for the possibility of mold health problems inside their bodies.  Fry also recommended that the family never return to the apartment and that the family should move elsewhere.

Because of likely heavy mold cross contamination of all of the contents inside the mold-infested apartment, Fry also recommended that the tenants’ furniture, clothing, and other personal possessions should never be used again unless all such items were thoroughly mold decontaminated.

The Gleneagles business manager authorized by email that the Fry’s nationwide Environmental Hygienists company do the necessary mold decontamination of the tenants’ furniture, clothing, and personal possessions, which was subsequently done, in fact, by the Fry company on May 22 and May 23, 2013. Gleneagles had promised Fry to that Gleneagles would pay the tenants for the Fry mold decontamination, with the tenants then paying Fry’s company.  

But then, upon the successful completion of the labor-intensive and thorough mold decontamination on May 23rd, Gleneagles failed to pay the tenants for Fry’s mold decontamination services, and further failed to pay the tenants for Gleneagles-promised financial aid to help the family relocate and move elsewhere because the tenants have refused to sign a release of all liability by Gleneagles for damages to the tenants’ family.

In view of the possibly serious health problems of the tenants’ family, the tenants told Gleneagles that they are unwilling to release Gleneagles from legal liability until the full extent of possible mold damage to the family’s health has been determined by the family’s doctors.

The Tenant family received the first mold blood test results on May 28, 2013, for the husband, for whom blood testing discovered Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, and Penicillium mold species to be present in his blood test results. The wife and three young children will soon have their blood samples drawn by their doctor for lab mold blood analysis.

Individuals who have become mold victimized by mold offenders such as an employer, landlord, moldy hotel or resort, real estate seller, new home builder, building contractor, lender, insurance company, or mold remediation company should visit the websites www.moldvictimrights.com and www.moldexpertconsultants.com, email association director Phillip Fry phil@moldinspector.com, or phone Mr. Fry 1-480-310-7970 or 1-480-217-7173.
