Tenants in the next-door apartment building are complaining about smoke from my fireplace chimney. I don’t want to be unneighborly but I did spend a lot to repair my fireplace and chimney and it’s not my fault that their windows were built close to the property line.

Tenants in the next-door apartment building are complaining about smoke from my fireplace chimney. I don’t want to be unneighborly but I did spend a lot to repair my fireplace and chimney and it’s not my fault that their windows were built close to the property line. I don’t think this is a problem all the time but some nights it appears there are down-drafts pushing the chimney smoke in their direction. My house (and chimney stack) predates apartment building by more than 50 years. Any thoughts on how to handle situation?
Maybe a fan atop your chimney would help send the smoke away from them? Ask a chimney guy like Andre at A&A. He advertises on this site.
it would have been their responsibility to extend your chimney when their building was built.. get a lawywer.. they are in the wrong
