Most homes in Rockland County are owner-occupied, with about 32% rented. Owners and their families usually direct the cleanup and decide what is kept.

Animal Hoarding Cleanup Frequently Asked Questions in Pomona, NY
What health risks come from animal waste in a home?
Urine and feces release ammonia, which irritates the eyes and lungs. Waste can carry bacteria and parasites, and some diseases pass between animals and people. Fleas, ticks, rodents, dust and mold add to the problem. Anyone who feels unwell after time in the home should see a doctor.
Will repairs be needed after cleanup?
Sometimes. Flooring, drywall, baseboards and paint may need replacing once soaked and chewed materials are removed. The team notes what it finds so a builder can plan the repairs.
Does insurance cover animal hoarding cleanup?
Usually not. Policies often exclude cleaning caused by long-term conditions, though some cover sudden events such as a burst pipe. Read the policy or ask the agent, take photos and keep every receipt.
Does the resident need to be present?
Not always. If access can be arranged, the caller does not need to be on site. When the resident wants to be there, the crew welcomes it and works at a pace that suits them.
What happens to deceased animals found in the home?
They are handled with care and disposed of properly, as local rules require. The cleanup team can explain how this is done and which agency to contact if needed.
How should I treat the person who kept the animals?
With kindness and without blame. Many people who kept too many animals loved them and wanted to help. Feelings run high after animals are removed, and support from a doctor or counselor can help.
