Apartment Testing Results ... Any Advice / Info?

[Guest guest]

Here are the results from the first laboratory test of our

apartment. The tests were done by tape-lifting samples from an area

we felt was most contaminated. The " scale " for the testing is as

follows:

1x = Trace (less than 10 count)

2x = Minor (between 10 - 20 count)

3x = Major (between 21 - 50 count)

4x = Abundant (greater than 50 count)

RESULTS:

Alternaria 4x

Arthrinium 2x

Aspergillus 4x

Penicillium

Hypal-like 4x

Fragments

Myxomycete 1x

Fibers 4x

Other Pollen 1x

Debris 4x

Anyone have advice / info? We have not been staying in the

apartment and are going to court next week.

We narrowed the source of the mold down to the adjoining wall

between our apartment and our neighbors. There are only 4

apartments per building, 2 up and 2 down. This, of course, is the

wall where the majority of the plumbing is located. Our neighbor

reports, as do we, absolutely NO WATER PRESSURE ... would this be an

indicator of a major leak in the pipes somewhere between the water-

main to the building and our apartment(s)?

Your advice is very much appreciated.
