Over-the-Rhine Crime Scene Cleanup: Common Questions Answered

What happens to belongings and keepsakes?

Crews set personal items aside and clean what can be saved. Items soaked with fluids may have to be removed. The team tells you what it finds so you can decide what matters.

What rules do crime scene cleaners follow?

The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard, 29 CFR 1910.1030, protects workers who handle blood and body fluids. Crews also use EPA-registered disinfectants and dispose of contaminated waste as regulated medical waste.

Does insurance pay for crime scene cleanup?

Many homeowners policies cover crime or death cleanup after the deductible, though some exclude certain cases, such as a crime by a household member. Renters policies often cover cleanup but not the building. Call your insurer before work starts.

Will the neighbors know?

Cleanup can be done discreetly. Ask about unmarked vehicles and quiet work practices when you call. Crews keep what they see private and do not discuss the job with others.

Can a landlord or property manager hire a cleanup company?

Yes. Owners and managers often book crime scene cleanup to make a unit safe for the next tenant. Lease terms and local law decide who pays, and an attorney or tenant rights group can explain the details.

Can I clean a crime scene myself?

It is not advised. Blood and body fluids can carry bloodborne pathogens, and fluids often soak deeper than they look. A professional crew has the gear, disinfectants and waste handling to do it safely.

Police are done and the mess remains in Over-the-Rhine?

One call starts the process, and no details are required up front.
