I am having a problem with my neighbor. He recently installed a vent
over his cooktop for the porpuse of venting his wok fumes to the rear
of his house. We live in attached home row-style townhomes. I
recently
notices these fumes eminating from my internal heat/ac duct work. We
have forced air. He did all of the work himself in the middle of
the
night. We appoaced him on the issue but he simply said the fumes were
coming from my kitchen. I closed off some of the duct lines to try
and
isolate the problem and now there are no fumes in the ducts but we
are
still getting inundated with the odor. They ofen cook late like
9:00-10:00PM and its very disturbing. We get the fumes in our bedroom
also. Can anyone help me find some solution or some recourse. There
was

a case a while back on this board about a lady who got a court order
to


make his naighbor cook only certain hours and eventully got a win and
the courts made them move the ven to the roof. Do you think this is
possible in NYS?


Thanks in advance

Contact your town's building inspector... Probably doesn't meet code.

If you're going to live in an attached row townhouse you going to smell
your neighbor's cooking. If you can't accept that then get yourself a
house with some land around it.

BTW - Didn't you post this exact same complaint here about a year ago?
