Mold Resource List 2023 Alameda County Public Health Department Mold Resource list During both rainy and dry seasons Alameda County Public Health Department receives calls from residents complaining about mold in their apartments or homes. Mold can result from a moisture problem such as a roof or plumbing leak. Although neither Alameda County Public Health nor Environmental Health inspects for residen�al mold, there are steps that residents can take. The resources below are designed primarily to assist county residents with rental or lease agreements. In either case, you will need to alert your landlord to the moisture problem. If there is no response, contact your city's building code enforcement oﬃce. Note: Code enforcement inspects for moisture problems, not mold. Because resolving a mold problem can be �me-consuming and costly, we have included tenant rights organiza�ons so residents can get legal advice on housing issues that might arise from repor�ng mold. As another resource we have included our Asthma Start program at (510) 383-5181. This program works with the families of children with asthma, ages 18 and younger, providing free, in-home assessments for asthma triggers and educa�on about asthma medica�ons and warning signs.
