Most of Livingston Manor is entirely infected with black mold - it can be seen and smelled. As of a year ago, the only section inhabitable was a 2 story outbuilding off to the right of the main Manor/ It is only this outbuilding that has been used for small courses for the last few years. It was fixed up to be clean and one room serves as the dining room and seats about 25 people. That's it. The large lecture hall, the entry hall, and all the rooms in the excutive area were saturated with mold. The entire thing was sheeted off with plactic to prevent the mold from infesting the air. Local workers were hired to clean up thick sheets of slick black mold down in the lower levels (where people used to do the siddhis). They wore boots, used chemicals and brooms and scrapers, and 2 days later another sheet of black slime was growing all over again. The big old dining halls were also sealed off, and when you walked in there, you were hit with a huge stench of moldy air. Same with trying to walk thru the main building. Many years of unrepaired roof leaks and no heat caused this. They could not get a C of O for the place. maybe that is changing, but I doubt it. Most of the other outbuildings have caved in and no one has removed the debris. For 200 purusha to live there would take some sturdy and brave souls. A person could get really sick there.
