Mold problems can be aggravated by slow-moving condo associations -- South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com

There is a fungus among us.

For 30 years, Ron McDonald, 67, has owned a townhouse in Tamarac's Woodglen community. Four years ago, he said, a contractor covered a hole in the roof with plastic. It blew off during a storm and "inundated" his unit with water. It took eight months for his association to respond to the water damage and when he discovered mold, it took three months to have it checked. By then, he had developed symptoms of asthma.
