VILLAGE OF PORT
LEYDEN
PUBLIC HEALTH
NOTICE FOR FIELD DAY BUILDINGS
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, the field day buildings located on 3387
Douglas Street, Port Leyden, NY 13433 have been deemed a public health
risk. Effective IMMEDIATELY, all rentals, events, and public access to the field day buildings are
CEASED. Converse Laboratories Inc. conducted a
site visit and obtained surface samples and a full assessment of the
buildings. Lab results indicate that there are two types of pathogenic molds
present in the buildings known to cause respiratory infections, pneumonia,
asthma, and other serious diseases. Due to the circumstances surrounding these findings, the Village is
unable to maintain liability insurance on the buildings against accidents
or toxic tort injuries sustained by members of the public. Unauthorized entry subjects the
Village, and therefore the taxpayers, to significant legal liability. Entry to the buildings is therefore
limited to village staff and authorized agents and contractors who have
received approval and taken necessary protective measures to safeguard
their own health.
The Village
appreciated the patience of the public as we take all necessary steps to
protect the Village and its taxpayers.
