Public Advocate Proposes Post-Sandy Mold Plan
New York City Public Advocate Bill de Blasio says more needs to be done to fight mold in homes flooded by Superstorm Sandy.
Unchecked mold is a health hazard to people with mold allergies.
De Blasio is asking for FEMA aid to fund more inspections. He's also calling on the city to set up a mold hotline and perform health monitoring.
He says thousands of moldy homes are making New Yorkers sick.
