Leviticus 14:44

42 So different stones must be obtained to replace the contaminated ones, as well as additional mortar to replaster the house.

43 If the mildew reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house has been scraped and replastered,

the priest must come and inspect it. If the mildew has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew; the house is unclean.

45 It must be torn down with its stones, its timbers, and all its plaster, and taken outside the city to an unclean place.

46 Anyone who enters the house during any of the days that it is closed up will be unclean until evening.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
