Restroom Areas
Mold is able to develop due to moisture in the air. In just about any commercial property, the most moisture that will spawn from any area is the restroom.

Attic
This isn’t too common for many commercial properties as they’re not typically constructed with attics. But if yours has one, you should inspect it regularly as often as you can.
South Florida is known for its reoccurrence of powerful storms and their impact on buildings, particularly their roofs. Because of this, after you inspect your roof for damage, inspect your attic right after. If damage has occurred on your roof, permitting leaks, then you should also check your attic often for mold development.
