Yes I know of the policies on it and while we are very dense it doesn't make it impossible for people to have their own chicken coop if they have a backyard, especially areas outside of downtown. And I could be mistaken but I recall reading that if a person has written consent from their neighbors approving the coop if the 25 ft limit cannot be met. The link you posted dates the ordinance is dated from 1978, I recall the city council updated or were looking into updating the ordinance to promote more urban farms within JC.

Cook some Tripe Soup (flaczki) my Polish grandmother used to whip up a batch for the holidays. (never tried it) I don’t think there is any worse of a smell then tripe cooking. There are even internet horror stories about the stink. Kielbasa and Sauerkraut cooking might be a close second. (but I love it)

Slow your roll, my man... before people get ideas and don't bother looking into the details, there are several legal requirements that must be satisfied before someone can legally keep chickens in JC. Here is a link to the municipal code section dealing with chickens:

Basically, you need a license, and a chicken coop can not be within 25 feet of another structure in which people reside, work, or get together. Given the housing density in JC, that proximity restriction would disqualify most people from being able to keep chickens.

Maybe ask the landlord to remind the new tenants to use the overhead cooking fan which should help, but won't completely solve the issue.

Another thing you can do is add air fresheners by your door jambs if you can, and seal up the door with weather strips to help prevent the smell from coming in.

Not sure why you were downvoted. It’s pretty obvious they cut corners throughout the construction. The front is indeed clearly much higher cost than the “rear” simply so photos of the skyline from the river look better.
