An unattended death is a death where no one was present and the person was not found for a period of time. The cleanup that follows treats the affected area, because authorities have already taken the person from the home.
Families, landlords, property managers and estate representatives in Floral Park can call Floral Park Biohazard Cleanup Help for death cleanup. You get crews in protective gear using EPA-registered disinfectants, with waste removed the way New York rules require.
Only about 14% of homes in Floral Park are rented, so most calls come from families, owners and estates handling their own property. Fewer older residents in Floral Park live alone, about 23%, yet a death can still go unnoticed when someone lives apart from family or has few visitors.

Answers About Cleaning Up After a Death in Floral Park, NY
Who cleans up after a dead body is removed?
A biohazard cleanup team does. After the funeral home or the medical examiner takes the person from the home, the room still holds fluids and odor. Cleanup technicians remove contaminated materials, disinfect and treat the air.
How long does it take to clean out a house after someone dies?
It varies with the size of the home and the amount of belongings. A cleaned and sorted house can take days to weeks. Biohazard cleanup comes first when the death was unattended, and the sorting follows once the home is safe.
Will the smell go away on its own?
Usually not. Odor comes from fluids that soaked into carpet, padding, subfloor and walls. Opening windows or using sprays only covers it for a short time. The source has to be removed and the air and structure treated.
Can a home be sold or rented after an unattended death?
Yes, once it has been properly cleaned and any needed repairs are done. Questions about what must be disclosed are best answered by a real estate attorney or agent. A cleanup team can provide records of the work.
What is considered an unattended death?
An unattended death is one where no one was with the person and they were not found for some time. It may be a few days or much longer. The term describes how the death was discovered, not the cause. Cleanup is needed because body fluids and odor may remain.
I found someone at home. What do I do first?
Call 911 and leave the room. Do not touch the person or anything around them. Once the authorities have finished and released the property, a cleanup team can take over. Be gentle with yourself. If you feel overwhelmed, 988 offers support by call or text.
