It is my guess the reason hospitals are notorious for mold is the heating and

cooling system-- chiller, which means water pipes running through the walls, hot

water in winter, cold in summer.  Those pipes leak eventually, thus the mold. 

Also, roof leaks.  Those buildings with stained ceilings are not being kept in

good repair.  Where I worked they replaced the ceiling tiles as soon as someone

reported a stain, plus checked for leaking pipes.  The building was still

hazardous to my health.

 

Also, from my experience moving for many years, apartments that advertise free

utilities have chiller.  Four years ago I moved into a late 60s very nice

block apartment complex.  Before I got there, per neighbors, the chiller pipes

had been leaking/breaking in the walls.  The place needed replumbed too but the

owner just 'bandaided' repairs.  I had to move out quickly after work one day--

turned out to be sewer gas leeching into my apt.  I had not been feeling well

shortly after I moved there, thought it was my age but later found out from the

guy that had my apt before me that there is mold behind the walls there.
