>Status of Reported Mold Infestation at Emergency Services HQ, 33 Douglas Place?

>On December 12, 2007, Village Council members unanimously awarded a $27,885 professional services contract to Langan Engineering and Environmental Services of Elmwood Park, NJ.

Langan was contracted to perform an investigative engineering analysis of reported microbial conditions (mold infestation) within the Village owned building that houses Ridgewood’s Emergency Services and Emergency Medical Services volunteers.

The Fly would like to know what the results were of that $28K study. Is the building completely infested with mold as taxpayers were originally led to believe, or was an “all clear” issued? If there’s mold present, why was there no subsequent contract issued to remediate the problem?

And it there any truth to the rumor that a second floor building addition, containing several conference rooms and lush private offices, is now being planned for Douglas Place? Is the Village deliberately delaying remediation of a condition that could potentially affect the health of its most prized group of volunteers to save a buck by doing all construction related work at the same time?

Who knows what the real story is at Douglas Place?
