Nassau County
Mold Removal in Atlantic Beach, NY: 28 Dry Parcels in the Whole Village
Nassau County counted 28 residential parcels in the Village of Atlantic Beach lying outside the 100 year floodplain, three acres in total, so the flood construction rules reach effectively every house in the village. What that changes is the scope of the work: the question worth paying to answer is what belongs on the wet side of the line under your floor, not where the water is getting in.

What 28 out of floodplain parcels and a missing data column tell an assessor
Nassau County's count of residential parcels lying outside the 100 year floodplain gives the Village of Atlantic Beach 28 parcels, totaling 3 acres. The Village's own annex states that most of the Village is located in a 100 year floodplain and that many areas are vulnerable to impacts from waves greater than three feet.

The Village of Atlantic Beach has 641 National Flood Insurance Program policies, 297 claims since 1978 and $11,575,264 paid. The repetitive loss and out of zone claim counts for Atlantic Beach are recorded as not available, which the plan's footnote explains is a data collection gap because many jurisdictions have no full time floodplain administrator.

FEMA states that an enclosed area below an elevated building in a special flood hazard area may be used solely for parking of vehicles, building access such as a stairwell or foyer, and storage recommended to be limited to low value items, and adds that the NFIP regulations do not list crawlspaces and under floor spaces as allowable uses of enclosed areas. It then lists the features that are not allowed below the base flood elevation: appliances, heating and air conditioning equipment, ventilation, ductwork, plumbing fixtures, materials that are not flood damage resistant, and more than the minimum electric service needed for vehicle parking, building access or storage. FEMA states that a compliant enclosed area can be rendered non compliant by installing them.

In the same FEMA report the Village of Atlantic Beach, the Village of Valley Stream, the Village of Rockville Centre and the Town of Hempstead, which covers Lido Beach, Point Lookout, Oceanside, Baldwin, Merrick, Bellmore and Wantagh, hold no Community Rating System class at all, so no CRS premium discount applies at those addresses. Every one of them is listed as participating in the National Flood Program with a current effective map date of September 11, 2009.

Why you cannot look up Atlantic Beach's repeat flood record
Atlantic Beach is an incorporated village, and its own annex states that most of the Village lies in a 100 year floodplain and that many areas are vulnerable to impacts from waves greater than three feet. There is a hole in the public record here and it matters: the county's claims table shows the Village with 641 flood policies, 297 paid claims and $11,575,264 paid since 1978, but its repetitive loss and out of zone columns are recorded as not available, which the plan's own footnote attributes to jurisdictions that have no full time floodplain administrator. That is a collection gap, not a clean record, so nobody should read it as evidence that this village has no repeat losses. With nothing useful to look up, an Atlantic Beach address has to be judged on what is actually under it, and FEMA's list of what may not sit below the base flood elevation is the fastest way to judge it: appliances, heating and air conditioning equipment, ductwork, plumbing fixtures, materials that are not flood damage resistant. Almost everything that grows mold in a low enclosure is on that list.
