Over the years, strange odors have occured in the utility/furnace area
areas of some units. Check the ceiling above those areas to be sure
there are no leaks dripping in. If there is a leak from or a faulty
wax seal for the toilet in the unit above, even a small one, that could
be the source.
For those new to the building who aren't aware of the details of
the conversion of the building to lofts, Tony Rezko and his parner
(Danill Mahru) were the developers. Rezko was convicted of fraud and
bribery last year. Vanguard sued Rezko and Marhu for construction
issues nearly a decade ago, recently settled, but given the Mahru/Rezko
bigger legal problems and the line of creditors, we received relatively
little.

The smell is not coming from my kitchen sink, but from the washer/dryer closet. That is where, I think, the smell is coming from in my unit. Yeah, let's hope it's not a sewage problem.
