Why Montello needs this specifically
A Montello property with a mixed residential/commercial layout may have crawlspace or basement contamination that started on the commercial side and spread toward residential space, or vice versa.
Montello’s mixed-use blocks mean a sewer backup can cross-affect both a home and an adjacent business property, and the range of building types calls for assessing each property’s specific plumbing setup rather than assuming one standard layout.
What to know before you call
