I have an unpleasant situation with a neighbor that is getting more so by the day.
Our building is in the shape of a square, divided into 4 equal units. Each of us shares a common wall with 2 of our other neighbors. Above the bathrooms and part of the bedrooms is a storage area also with commons walls, but made from plain dry-wall, nothing substantial.
My neighbor is an extremely heavy smoker who never ventillates her apartment. She smokes in the bathroom and the bedroom. The smell has totally permeated my storage space to the point where I'm going to have to throw out all of the books stored up there and I no longer take out my holiday decorations because I can't get the stink off of them. As of Fall '03 the smell began to creep through the bedroom and bathroom walls into my bedroom and bathroom. I often wake up to the smell of a dirty ashtray.
I've talked to her before and she really doesn't care about it. She's in her mid-60's, has a health care aid who comes in daily - who also smokes - and she stays in her nightie watching TV all day, smoking.
I need to use my storage space - my living space is small, there's no place to put things. If the shoe were on the other foot, and this were the stink of a dirty cat box creeping into her house I'm pretty sure the story would be different.
I asked the Yi 3 questions:
What is the best to seek relief from this problem?
Response: Hx. 19 no changing lines
What if I take this to the management company?
Hx. 3 no changing lines - it will be tough to get anywhere with them on this
What if I don't take this to the management company?
Hx. 27 - no changing lines
I'm at a loss here to understand anything but a portion of Hx 3. Any input would be appreciated. I have no ill will toward this woman, but I'm kind of tired of doing the Lysol dance every day!
Peace,
Beth
