Spraying Air Freshener

[Guest guest]

The apt. building where I live is loaded with mold.

It's so bad, you can actually smell it, and on the

days when the owner, or Upper Management is going to

come to the building to have a meeting in the

Community Room, or when (PHFA) Pennsylvania Housing

Finance Agency, and/or the Montgomery County Housing

Authority, is coming to the building, to perform an

inspection, the maintenance technician sprays the

hallways with some type of an air freshener to cover

up the moldy odor, and when he does that, I go into an

asthmatic attack, and am sick for days afterwards.

I have informed Management as well as maintenance,

both verbally and in writing, about how the chemicals

that are sprayed affect me, and I have asked them not

to spray any more, but they evidently don't care,

because they keep on spraying. In fact, when I told

the maintenance tech., he thought it was funny, and

while laughing, he said to me " Oh, did I spray too

much? "

I even got a note from my doctor, and that is on file

in the office, but nothing matters, and I was

wondering if anyone knew, if there is a law, either

Federal, or a State law in Pennsylvania, which makes

it illegal to spray chemicals in apt. buildings. If

anyone knows of such a law, please tell me how I may

obtain a copy of it.

Thank you.
