Mold in a La Colonia home or rental? We connect you with one independent local remediation company. Free, no obligation.
La Colonia, east of downtown Oxnard, is one of the city's oldest neighborhoods, with roots in the farmworker and sugar factory community of the early 1900s. Many homes are small, older houses, some with additions, along with apartments and duplexes.
Mold patterns in La Colonia homes
- Many people in a small space. Cooking, showers, and drying laundry indoors all add moisture. In a small home without good ventilation, that moisture ends up on windows, walls, and ceilings.
- Older windows that sweat on cool mornings and drip onto sills and walls.
- Bathrooms without exhaust fans, or with fans that don't vent outside.
- Additions and garage conversions that may have been built without much insulation or ventilation.
- Older plumbing that leaks slowly under sinks and floors.
Simple steps that help
Run a kitchen or bathroom fan when cooking and showering if you have one, crack a window when the air outside is dry, keep furniture a few inches off exterior walls, and wipe condensation off windows in the morning. Small spots on hard surfaces can usually be cleaned with detergent and water, per the EPA mold guidance.
Renters
If you rent, tell your landlord about mold and leaks in writing and keep photos with dates. California law can treat visible mold growth as a substandard housing condition, and the City of Oxnard's code compliance staff handle complaints if a landlord doesn't respond. Local legal aid and tenant organizations can also help explain your rights.
