Osvaldo Santiago Melendez

What this record tells you

Osvaldo Santiago Melendez holds Florida licence MRSA2996, a MRSA classification which authorises work as a licensed mold assessor. An "R" prefix means the licence is registered, which limits work to the local jurisdictions that accepted it rather than the whole state.

This licence was first issued in 2018, which makes it an established licence for the trade in this area. Roughly 31% of the 89 active mold inspection licences based in the Sarasota & Bradenton area were issued earlier than this one, and the local median sits at 2022. That is 8 years of continuous licensure.

Osvaldo Santiago Melendez is one of 13 active mold inspection licences registered to an address in North Port, so you have local alternatives to compare quotes against.

The licence is recorded as expiring on 07/31/2028. Florida licences renew on a fixed cycle, and a licence that is not renewed moves to delinquent status — which is why the expiry date matters if you are planning work close to that date. Confirm the current status on the state portal before signing a contract.
