We live in a ground floor/sub basement apartment where some of the walls are partially underground. The problem appears to be in isolated patches, though I could be wrong. The sticky dampness evaporates quickly from fingertips, and although the worst patch of wall is on an outside wall, the problem does NOT seem to be isolated to outside walls. This "residue" does not have much odor, if any.
I have 2 small babies and am concerned that this could somehow be hazardous to their health.
Thanks!

Probably moisture in the air. Get a de-humidifier to pull the water out of the air. Get one before mold starts to grow... if it already hasn't. Good Luck.

This could be a form of mold appearing on your walls, due to weather changes. It may be hazardous to your children, as they probably touch it and then put their fingers in their mouths. Contact the landlord, and explain the problem, and see if he will take action.
