The building has smelled like garbage for nearly a year, with the 9th floor being the most severely affected. Ongoing backdrafts or blockages in the trash chute cause rancid odors to circulate through multiple floors, leaving the building smelling like rotting trash. This issue has significantly impacted my quality of life and how I feel about living here. I am aware of multiple residents and visitors who have noticed the stench as high as the 15th floor.
