Persistent Marijuana Smoke and Health Impact: Since moving into The Sudbury Apartments, I have encountered a strong and frequent smell of marijuana smoke inside my apartment, originating from other tenants who are smoking within the building. This issue has persisted for several months and has caused me significant distress. • Despite repeated complaints to both the concierge and the leasing office, no effective action has been taken to resolve this issue. I have emailed your office multiple times, and the concierge was notified as well. • The smoke often makes the apartment uninhabitable, causing me nausea, insomnia, and discomfort, which significantly impacted my health and ability to relax in my own home. • I requested alternative solutions, such as providing an air purifier or offering me a different unit, but neither was provided.
To address the persistent marijuana smoke issue more effectively, you can:
- Document all complaints made to the concierge and leasing office.
- Gather medical records showing the impact on your health.
- Highlight any breaches of lease terms related to tenant conduct and habitability.
- Consider contacting local health authorities.
