Suicide Cleanup FAQ for Arden Heights / Rossville, New York, NY: Who Cleans, Who Pays
Is the odor a concern after a suicide?
It can be if the person was not found right away. Odor comes from fluids soaked into carpet, padding and subfloor, and sprays only cover it for a short time. The source must be removed and the air and structure treated.
What should I ask a suicide clean up company before hiring?
Ask how it contains the area, what protective gear it uses and how it disposes of waste. Ask what the price includes and whether you get records for an insurer. Ask how it treats odor and what happens if a smell remains.
I found someone at home. What do I do first?
Call 911 and leave the room. Do not touch anything. Once the authorities have finished and released the property, a cleanup team can take over. Be gentle with yourself, and know that 988 offers support by call or text if you need to talk.
What safety standards do cleanup crews follow?
Workers who clean up blood and body fluids are covered by the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030. It calls for protective equipment, safe handling and proper disposal. Ask any team what training it has and how it deals with waste.
Can a landlord or employer hire a cleanup team?
Yes. Landlords, property managers and employers can hire cleanup of a unit or workplace. The team works discreetly so other tenants or coworkers are protected. Ask what documentation you get with the work.
Who is responsible for cleaning up after a suicide?
Police and the medical examiner do not clean. The property owner, the family or the estate books the cleanup, and a biohazard cleanup team does the work. In a rental, the lease and local law decide who pays, and a landlord or attorney can explain the details.
