how to remedy bad smells
Need some advice here… my one bedroom apartment often has a lot of bad smells coming in, can’t figure out from where. Deep frying oil, greasy cooking, gassy. Not coming from upstairs neighbors or downstairs neighbors apparently. Looking for an inspector or somebody with expertise in this kind of mystery. thanks.

nope, no restaurant, unless its illegal and hidden, no ducts -just these fumes… which seem to be coming from near the radiators, often seems to be later in the evening, after “normal” cooking hours…
doorman has no clue, super has no clue, I have no clue. Will now contact management company.
I’m not sure about the airshaft, I was thinking more of the ducts in the bathroom. You do have ducts? If you have a window you may not, but if no window, there should be an exhaust fan in the bath. Sometimes the fans fail and odors move thru the ducts.
Is there a restaurant at the ground floor?
Thank you Denton. I actually sometimes think the airshaft is part of the problem. Is it common for an airshaft to have an exhaust fan? I checked the roof, it is just a vent pipe, no fan in it. Would there be a fan at the bottom pushing air up? I took a picture in the airshaft, and can vaguely see a round shape a few floors down…
Check the duct in the bathroom or kitchen if you have either. Make sure they are working by putting a piece of toilet paper on the duct and see if the suction holds it. If not get the exhaust fan fixed.
