Testing company: apartment mold not toxic

LYNN – A private testing company has determined the mold in a Marian Gardens apartment poses no threat and remediation is not required.
An attorney for the family living in Unit 22 on Flint Lane has questioned the findings of the company hired by the landlord.
Michael Lyons, 23, his pregnant girlfriend Nina Olson, 22, and their infant son, Michael Jr., have temporarily moved into Lyon’s mother’s apartment in the Curwin Circle public housing development while issues with their federally subsidized three-bedroom unit are resolved. Lyons has taken action against the landlord and the management company in Northeast Housing Court for respiratory and neurological ailments incurred due to the presence of toxic mold and mouse droppings.
A mediation court hearing before Judge David Kerman is scheduled for Dec. 7 in Lynn.
The management company, MB Management of Braintree, is under city Health Department order to clean the unit and exterminate mice.
