Let’s just keep doing H1B’s until we all get to stay at home, what could go wrong?

Try using an Ozone generator maybe once a week or so. You can get one from Amazon for about 100 bucks. Gets rid of odors but you have to leave the area you are trying to remove the odor from for about an hour. We use them once in a while at an Airbnb we host when trying to get rid of any lingering smells from previous guests.

Hmm, sounds like we need to bring in some immigrant teachers to fill that need.

The teacher shortage is nation wide, and in all the suburbs.
More than a few districts are starting brand new teachers currently at the the equivalent pay grade step, that teachers who started 4 or 5 years ago are at now. (For the most part this is public as public employees).
Other factor not mentioned is the polarization of politics around masks, and hard right wing groups organizing to start shit over basically anything they can. A friend got heated calls left at the school board over how they need to be fired over delivering the state mandated curriculum presentation that people being different & diverse is okay, or that handing out a mask to a kid will turn them gay because everyone knows they are treated with chemicals. Don’t blame anyone wanting to ditch out from that sorta noise happening on the regular

Hey this is Hudson county after all, maybe I just need to adjust to the local culture better. How long until I get to double dip pensions with no show consultant jobs?

Would that present security problems?

I love the food but don’t want to smell it all the time. I love bacon but I don’t want to smell bacon all the time.

True-thanks! She was awesome and I appreciated the posts. I went to random mushroom event someone posted about and made a new friend.

Sounds like parents should move to counties with good school systems. I hear Montclair is good.

Medium sized condo building, thinking about asking the management co. Or the owner of the unit who they are renting from. We are owners and this is a new problem. But there should be solutions. Could be as simple as keeping all the windows in hallway open which we did last night.

Even if the hall has an outlet, and the owner allows it to be used by the tenant, it is unlikely that the tenant will be able to buy an air purifier that will cover the entire sq footage of the open space in the hallway, not to mention the opening of outside doors and apartment doors. Also not a good idea to spend money on that equipment and leave it in the hallway.

If it’s in the hallway who cares? Figure out how to secure your vents and move on with your life. Maybe talk to your neighbor about it. I always catch whiffs of meat being cooked and the smell grosses me out but I don’t complain.

Those same neighbors probably think the hallways smell like meatloaf, potato salad, and old ham because of you

The hero who populated it with all the events moved on and got busy in life.
It’s was always user generated but no other users really made it useful.
She was awesome!
So we stopped posting it.
I suggest Hoboken girl, jersey city times and jersey city upfront which have weekend roundups.

I’ve experienced this before. I knocked on their door and had an honest conversation with them. I explained how the smell was filling the entire building and that several other tenants had complained. I asked if they could open a window when cooking and use a fan to blow the smell out. They did it and it helped a lot.
If your neighbor isn’t as kind as mine was, you could always offer to purchase the fan for them. Other option is to get a letter signed by other tenants and present it to your landlord. This shouldn’t done unless you ask the neighbor kindly and they tell you to pound sand.
Good luck!

We had been complaining about this and campaigning hard for better BOE members last year, but people continued to vote irresponsibly.
I mean it from the bottom of my heart when I tell the people who voted horribly to go fuck themselves and they need to grow up.
