Questions About Drug Residue Cleanup in Harlem (South), New York, NY
Is drug paraphernalia a biohazard?
It can be. Used syringes and other sharps can carry bloodborne germs, and residue can harm people who touch or swallow it. A cleanup team can look at what is there and explain how it should be handled. Do not touch it until then.
What should I do if I find an unknown powder?
Do not touch, sweep or smell it, and do not try to clean it up first. Keep children and pets away. If anyone touched or swallowed it, call Poison Control, or 911 in an emergency. Then call a cleanup team to remove it safely.
Do I need to be there during the work?
In many cases the person who calls does not need to be at the property. Ask the team how access and keys can be arranged. If you are out of town, say so when you call. Many teams can arrive in an unmarked vehicle.
Who pays for cleanup at a rental property?
The owner of the property usually pays at first. Lease terms and local law decide who is responsible in the end. A landlord, an attorney or a tenant rights group can say. Keep any record the cleanup team gives you, since a landlord or insurer may ask for it.
Can a landlord order paraphernalia cleanup?
Yes. A property owner can call a cleanup team to clear and clean a unit after a tenant leaves. Lease terms and local law decide who pays. Keep photos and records, and ask the team what documentation it can provide.
Does residue remain after the items are removed?
It can. Powders and stains may stay on floors, furniture, bedding and in vents after the items are gone. That is why a team cleans and disinfects the surfaces and removes soft materials that cannot be cleaned. Ask what the plan covers.
