Mold Remediation & Water Intrusion · five boroughs
A Local Law 55 mold order already has a correction date running. Somebody has to hire a licensed remediator.
HPD writes mold under Local Law 55 by size and hazard: Class A under 10 square feet gets 90 days, Class B (10 to 29 square feet) gets 30 days, and Class C (30 square feet or more, immediately hazardous) gets 21 days. Once the affected area passes 10 square feet the law requires a NYS-licensed mold assessor and a separate NYS-licensed remediator — the same firm cannot hold both roles. We watch every mold order across the five boroughs and name the managing agent registered with HPD.
Every violation in New York has a deadline, a penalty, and somebody who has to hire you.
Mold Remediation & Water Intrusion leads, $199 a month.
7 days free on Alert — three digests. Card on file, first charge on day 8. No contract, cancel any time. That works out to about $1 per ranked mold lead with the owner or managing agent already named on it.

The Play
This class of mold order legally requires two different licensed roles, and most owners calling around have no idea they need both. Subscribers get the play.
The house number is masked here because a full address is a free route to the name. Subscribers get it unmasked. Every lead carries a play like this — it is the difference between a row of data and knowing what to say when they pick up.
Why this is not a lead list
Marketplace leads sell intent. A violation is an obligation with a date on it.
A marketplace mold lead is a homeowner who noticed a smell and typed it into a form. A Local Law 55 order is a landlord with a correction date, a mandated licensed assessor and remediator, and an inspector who is required to come back and check.
Marketplaces cannot tell you the violation class, and class decides whether the law requires a licensed assessor before anyone touches the wall — miss that and the certification gets rejected.
Mold is the second largest division we track, after interior repair. Almost none of that volume shows up in a lead marketplace, because the order exists whether or not the tenant or landlord ever searches for anything.
How it works
Four steps, every night, before you are awake.
We read the city, nightly
Fourteen datasets — DOB, ECB, HPD, FISP — refreshed every night. See every one on the data page.
We keep the ones with a deadline
Most of what the city publishes is paperwork. We keep records that carry a correction date, a filing date or an unpaid balance — something that forces a decision.
We name the human
Owner of record, or the managing agent registered with HPD where one is on file, with a confidence band on the resolution so you know how hard the number was to find.
It is in your inbox before you open the truck
Ranked, filtered to your trade and boroughs, with The Play on each one. 6:00am every weekday, on every plan.

We are a commercial general contractor that got tired of buying leads from people who had never run a job. That is the whole origin story.

Questions
Mold contractors ask these first.
Why do mold orders carry different deadlines?
HPD classes mold by size and hazard under Local Law 55: Class A (under 10 sq ft) gets 90 days, Class B (10-29 sq ft) gets 30 days, Class C (30 sq ft or more, immediately hazardous) gets 21 days.
Do you separate mold from general water damage?
Yes. This division is mold conditions specifically — the source repair and the visible mold abatement — not every leak or water intrusion order, which can sit under plumbing or interior depending on the cause.
Is licensed remediation actually required, or just for big buildings?
It is tied to the size of the affected area, not the building. Once a single patch passes 10 square feet, the law requires a NYS-licensed mold assessor and a separate NYS-licensed remediator regardless of building size.
What does it cost, and is there a contract?
$199 a month for one trade in one borough, and the first 7 days are free. Your card goes on file when you start and is first charged on day 8 -- cancel before then and you are never charged. No contract, cancel any time. Every trade-and-borough combination is the same $199, so two trades across two boroughs is four of them, $796. There is no bigger plan and no volume discount. A borough with no filings in your division is not offered at all, so there is no way to be charged for coverage that does not exist. If you want to be the only contractor sent this trade in a borough, you can buy every seat on it at $199 a seat -- on a thin combination that is a small number; ask us how many it holds.
How many other contractors get the same lead?
Capped per trade and borough rather than sold to whoever turns up. The point of a cap is that the lead is still worth calling when you get it.
Where does the data come from?
NYC Open Data — DOB, ECB, HPD and the FISP filings — plus the registration and tax roll records used to resolve the contact. It is public record. The work is in filtering it, ranking it and naming the human, and that is what you are paying for.
