There is a complaint line for odors with the city. Register a complaint there, aside from the one you already put to use. Your neighbor should have a vent with sufficient cfm (evacuation) to clear the air. You may also want to bypass the board and go straight to the managing agent. A lawyer is expensive but another avenue of complaint.

311 does not take food odor complaints. do you know which city agency does???

Hi, I have question about this issue..the board has finally responded to me with the following:
4. There is no issue of “habitability” since the smell of baked goods does not make an apartment unlivable.
5. There is no health issue, as the smell, as I understand it, is unpleasant, not unhealthy.

is this legal..I have written time and time again that the sweet smell makes me ill causing headaches..

I live in a self managed coop..

i just called 311 they do not handle food odor complaints

Check your Prop Lease. There is probably a provision about unreasonable orders and another provision saying that Apartments can be used for residential purposes only.
If the Board wont do anything, you may have to contact an attorney. Or perhaps someone at the attorney general.

Many leases or house rules have restrictions allowing odors to go into common areas or other units. If that is the case and the board has been notified and is refusing to do anything, perhaps speak to an attorney about your options.
Another option is to seal up your apartment so that the odors can't enter. This could be caulking the gap where the baseboard meets the floor, around window and door frames, heating and water pipes. You can also add foam draft stops around outlets and light switch plates. This will also reduce the likelihood of bedbugs, roaches, etc. getting into your apartment.

Most proprietary leases do have warrant of habitability clauses. Having worked in insulation I can tell you odors are very tough to combat. It's expensive as if there are bays in the wall (spaces between studs) that interconnect odors will come up that way also.

Hi my name is Evangelina. I am the sole shareowner of a cooperative 3 bedroom apt in the bronx. I am currently going through a very difficult and ugly divorced. My soon to be Ex husband has thrown out all of my personal belongings. He is living in the apt along with his three adults children ages 31, 29, and 25. He has given my Master bedroom to his 29 yr's old son. His 31 yr's old daughter is a certified teacher with the DOE. And she is not suppose to live there according to the coop by laws, because of her income. I did go to court to obtain an ILLEGAL LOCK OUT ORDER. The judge granted me RE-ENTRY. But I am unable to physically live there as to which i have no where to sleep. QUESTIONS. Can I go to my apt and demand my bedroom back? Can I remove my Stepson's items from one room to another, in order to bring in a bedroom furniture. I don't have anywhere to live as I was staying with a friend and she has moved out of state.

Hi my name is Evangelina. I am the sole shareowner of a cooperative 3 bedroon apt in the bronx. I am currently going through very difficult and ugly divorce. My soon to be Ex husband has thrown out all of my personal belongings. He is currently living in my coop apt with his three adults children, ages 31, 29, and 25. He has given my Master room to his 29 yr's old son. And his oldest daughter 31 yr's of is a certified teacher whom works for the Board Of Education. And according to the HPD standard coop bylaws doesn't not clarify to live there. As to the Coop has a standard low income for shareholders. I did go to Housing Court for an ILLEGAL LOCK OUT. The judge did grant me re- entry and said my husband isn't allowed by law to keep me out. However the situation has become very critical. As to which I don't have a place to live. I was staying with a friend who unfortunately had to move to another state. MY QUESTIONS May I go to my apt and demand my sleeping quarters return to me. May I remove my Stepson's personal items (bedroom, clothing ect..) to another room in the apt to make room for myself.

Ask your attorney, but you may want to consider calling the sherrif or police.

Evangelina - Yours sounds like a very precarious situation. You must talk to the attorney handling your divorce and not ask for advice here. If you do not have an attorney, ask the court or Legal Aid to appoint one for you. If you have an attorney but cannot ask your attorney the questions you are asking here, you need to find a new attorney.

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh and uncaring, but you need immediate help and from the way you described your situation only an attorney is in a position to provide that help.

Good luck.

is this legal..
