Fri. 10 pm: Mold at Niles City Hall ‘minimal’

NILES – The new roof at City Hall is finished and the endeavor to repair the building is likely to come in under budget because the mold was not too widespread, Safety Service Director Jim DePasquale said.

The crew removing the mold and the building material it was growing on found there was not a lot of hidden mold, which DePasquale said would have driven up costs.

“It is excellent news. There is less mold than we figured in the building, it really is minimal. That should keep costs down,” DePasquale said.

ServiceMaster Restoration by Lewis Construction started the next phase in remediation shortly after the new watertight roof was in place a couple of weeks ago.

The crews removing mold-tainted drywall and paneling found “beautiful” brick behind it, DePasquale said. The look isn’t only aesthetically appealing, but it will save on costs to get the work spaces prepared.
