Mold has been growing all over homeowner Melba Brown's condominium after neighboring condo owners foreclosed and pipes in the building burst, causing flooding. A mother of three on the South Side of Chicago says she's trapped. She's the owner of a condominium she says was damaged by flooding when other condo owners foreclosed. Melba Brown said she blames her illnesses on mold spreading all over her 3-flat condo building since winter. She said the pipes there burst, sending out a flood of water. "I'm upset because of my health. I know something is going wrong in my body," Brown said. As of Wednesday, no one had been forced to fix the problem and the building near 63rd and Drexel was falling apart. CBS 2's Pamela Jones found it's been happening in more neighborhoods as the number of foreclosures rise. Both of Brown's neighbors foreclosed and moved - and attorneys said the condominium association that would have insured against the damage is gone, too. Attorney Dawn Moody, who handles several condominium associations, said the banks holding the vacant properties could be left responsible - eventually. "There is probably going to be a fight," Moody said. "The banks are gonna come back and they're gonna say there's insurance that's going to cover a lot of this damage in this unit. And there isn't an association, there isn't an association, there isn't insurance." Mold Test Chicago, an area inspection service, offered to test Brown's property for free. Ryan Cade, who performed the test, said air samples will be sent to a lab and will take four days to complete. Then, Brown will have an idea of how much mold may be concentrated in her home and the other units. "The more you put off something like this, the more it has a chance to take over your home and any homes adjacent to it," Cade said. Brown and the banks that hold the vacant properties were scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 3. The city of Chicago's Buildings Department said each of them could be required to pay the costs for repairing the properties. For now, Brown said she is waiting for someone to help her. She has been unable to sell her property because of the mold problem and she's also unable to move away. "I'm stuck," she said. "I just don't have the energy to continue to fight, fight, fight. I need someone to fight for me." Brown said that within the last couple of days, one of the banks she's been dealing with offered to pay for her family to stay in a hotel for a few weeks. It would be a temporary fix. Meantime, Brown said she is looking for help in rebuilding her family's future. Click here for video of this story.
