WESLACO – A Weslaco family says they’re noticing black bacteria growing on the walls of their home.

According to health professionals, mold and mildew is a major health hazard.

Jose Belmares and his family have been renting the apartment for three years. He called 5 ON YOUR SIDE after attempting to clean up the mess.   

KRGV’s Angelo Vargas spoke with the family’s landlord and housing authority about a solution.  

The owner of the apartment complex, Joe Olivarez, says he will send someone out.

The Weslaco Housing Authority will conduct an inspection after the clean-up process is complete.
