What’s Next After an Order to Remedy an Unsafe Building?

Marijuana grow-ops are more common than you think, with many unsuspecting landlords and property managers falling victim to these illegal and potentially dangerous operations.

If a police raid on your property reveals a marijuana grow-op, you will likely receive an Order to Remedy an Unsafe Building. The order describes the conditions you’ll need to meet before you can resolve your case. The electrical supply to the building will also most likely have been disconnected.

To restore your property to a healthy and legally compliant state, you must provide the municipality with an environmental assessment stating that the building is:

• fit for occupancy,

• free from biological and chemical hazards

• structurally sound

What’s Included in the Environmental Assessment?

1. The extent of fungal (usually mold) contamination and its source(s).

2. If any indoor pesticide contamination and its source(s) are present.

3. The extent of water and indoor moisture damage

4. A remediation plan to mitigate the above

5. A verification report that re-evaluates the environmental conditions, post remediation

What Does An Assure Assessment Include?

Our Comprehensive Assessment Includes:

1. History/Review of the Property from the Current Owner

2. A Thorough Inspection of the Property

3. Sampling and Laboratory Analysis of Molds and Asbestos as necessary

4. A Full Written Report, Including Findings, Photos, Conclusions and
Recommendations

5. Refer You To Professional Mold Abatement Contractors

6. Post-Remediation Assessment – Air Sampling and Testing to
Document that the Cleanup Work Has Been Completed – Effectively.

What Are The Dangers Presented by a Grow-Op Property?
