Under Chapter 581 of the Laws of Westchester County, in effect from August 15, 2022, a Flood History Disclosure Form must be completed and presented to each prospective tenant of residential and commercial leaseholds and sublets in the county. The form asks whether the property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area, whether it has flooded within the past ten years, a description of flood events and damage including "the approximate height the water reached", and any efforts to reduce flood risk.

Labor Law section 945 requires a mold assessment licensee's remediation plan to include the rooms or areas to be worked on, estimated quantities of materials to be cleaned or removed, the methods for each area, the personal protective equipment, proposed clearance procedures and criteria, "an estimate of cost and an estimated time frame for completion", and "when possible, the underlying sources of moisture that may be causing the mold". Any disinfectant named must be EPA-registered.

What a Mamaroneck assessment puts on paper
An inspection here produces more than a yes or no on mold. The licensed assessor maps moisture in the walls, floors and framing, notes the height the water reached and the materials it soaked, and names the source, then hands you a written report with a remediation plan if one is needed. In a village with 1,766 paid flood claims, the most of any community in Westchester, that report is the difference between knowing what happened to your lower level and assuming it. Keep it with the house papers.
Deciding whether a Mamaroneck basement needs the report
Book the assessment if water reached finished walls or flooring, if the basement was redone after one storm and wet again in the next, or if you rent the unit out. Skip it if the dampness is a small patch from a window or shower on sound material, which New York lets an owner clean without a license and EPA says most people can handle. Paying an assessor to confirm a ten square foot problem is money better spent on the source.
Refinished between storms
FEMA paid 107 village claims for the September 2023 storm, two years after Ida. If the room was closed up in between, tell the assessor when.
Renting it out
Under county law a prospective tenant gets a flood history form that asks how high the water reached. A dated report makes that answer accurate rather than remembered.
Ask for the source in writing
The plan should name the underlying moisture source where it can. That line is what a waterproofer or plumber works from next.
Has this lower level been through more than one storm?
List the storms you know it took and what was redone since. We use that to brief a licensed assessor, with no obligation.
After the Mamaroneck report: removal and drying
Mamaroneck questions about documenting flood damage
Does the report say whether the house will flood again?
No. It records what is there now: where the moisture is, what it is on and what caused it. Whether a lower level takes water in the next storm depends on the building and the weather, and nobody can promise that.
Can the company that inspects also do the cleanup?
Not in New York. The law bars one licensee from both assessing and remediating the same property, so the report comes from one firm and any removal from a separate one we arrange.
