A Green Bay family is threatening to break their lease after they say a lab found six types of mold in their home.
Kevin and Brietta Bielecki have been battling with their apartments management and the mold for over a year.
“It’s apparent that there is mold and they keep denying it. And they don’t want to do anything about it, said Kevin.
The bielecki family paid nearly $200 to have the mold professionally tested. The Wright Webber Management who runs the complex told them there was no mold.
NBC 26 obtained a copy of the family’s mold test-done by professionals. The test actually showed several different types of mold.
Brietta says the mold is what caused bacterial pneumonia in here 7 month old baby.
Brietta and Kevin say they have already started packing. They have had enough of the mold and have decided to move out of the apartment.

Sociological Issues Relating to Mold: The Mold Wars
“Changes in construction methods have caused US buildings to become perfect petri dishes for mold and bacteria to flourish when water is added. Instead of warning the public and teaching physicians that the buildings were causing illness; in 2003 the US Chamber of Commerce Institute for Legal Reform, a think-tank, and a workers comp physician trade organization mass marketed an unscientific nonsequitor to the courts to disclaim the adverse health effects to stave off liability for financial stakeholders of moldy buildings. Although publicly exposed many times over the years, the deceit lingers in US courts to this very day.” Sharon Noonan Kramer
