James Poolman who lives in room 312 in P3 reached out stating that there is black mold in the bathroom and trash can. They said they tried to clean it with bleach but don’t know if that completely got rid of the mold.

Molly reports a severe mold problem that has returned even after cleaning shower multiple times. Resulted in one suite mate becoming severely ill.) at this location HOLL-2ND FL-230-BTHRM

Barbara Berthiaume referred Caesar to Physical Plant after Caesar reports persistent allergic symptoms in the room and expressed concern about dust accumulation on the air supply.

I found the mold on the bottom of a bag I had left in the corner, near the leak at the foot of the bed. The bag (along with everything that was near it) has been placed inside 2 trash bags and is currently in the room; I wasn’t sure if it was needed for diagnostics or testing or what-have-you. I’m not sure if there was mold in the carpet or walls itself, but I wasn’t able to look too hard—I was already on my way out the door. Emma or Toby can show you the concerning area: it was fairly hard to miss when I left. Otherwise, I can provide my phone number, should it be necessary.

Hello
I am a sophomore living in p1 room 220. My roommates and I have been expecting headache every morning for a bit of time. We did a mold test purchased on Amazon called mold armor. I took a sample of my room and waited 24-96 hours for mold to start growing. The test has a noticeable amount of mold growing. Please inform me of how we can fix this problem before our return for the spring semester. Jordan McKie, Jordan.mckie@keene.edu

Some dust accumulation around diffuser in 408C and common area on upper level. Clean vents in shower and toilet rooms. Will focus on this room during break over cleaning.

The roommates in this room have had coughing in their room most of the semester. There was no evidence of mold in the space; if the symptoms recur in January, Ralph will provide an air filter for the room on a trial basis.

I reviewed the areas of concern they pointed out (the showers and bathrooms) and didn’t see unusual levels of dirt in this room. We will be going through all of One Butler Court over break to inspect and clean these areas. If the health symptoms recur when you return to campus, let me know and I can provide air cleaners which often help in these situations.

mold stain in west shower; water damage in east toilet

Reported by Katherine Potts

Work order issued by campus safety referred to C&W

Initial visit scheduled for 12/7/21; no sign of mold in this space, but the occupants are concerned about airborne dust in the space. Air filter provided on a trial basis

A leak from the shower stall above the restroom in 111 Pondside three resulted in discoloration in the ceiling. This discoloration was cleaned by C&W. After this, Ralph Stuart took a surface sample from both the bottom and top of the ceiling. Results from this sampling are expected the week of December 6. On December 3, KSC carpentry completed a temporary fix of the ceiling, including painting the ceiling with mold resistant paint. Complete repair of the ceiling will take place over winter break.

Follow up visit on December 6 by C&W in response to parental concern after first cleaning. Occupants reported no concerns from them.

Concern received via work order system; airborne samples collected December 1, 2021

Airborne sampling conducted in this suite on December 1

I visited the suite in 415 Pondside 3 this afternoon to look at some mold concerns with the residents there. Three of the bedrooms (415 B, C and D) have accumulating dust or mold downstream of the air diffusers and around the lights (see attached picture). The shower room has mold accumulating in the southwest corner. Can your staff wipe down these areas to remove the discoloration?

In addition, the window in 415C has a leak in the east corner which is accumulating discoloration. I believe that this will require attention from the carpenter’s shop before the cleaning is effective, but it would be good if that area can be wiped as well. I have attached a picture of this as well.

No response to initial outreach

Concerns about dirt accumulation and potential mold odors in CD apartment. A dehumidifier had been supplied, but made no apparent change. Cleaning by C&W took place soon after and air quality monitoring took place for a week after the visit.

Emily has a known sensitivity to molds which is occurring in her room. Small amount of discoloration noted in room diffuser. Cleaning by C&W was requested. Air quality monitoring took place through October, Airborne samples were taken December 1, 2021.
