Description
A terrible sulfur like smell, like burning oil has been permeating the neighborhoods of Fair Haven and Fair Haven Heights on and off for the last 2-3 days. It's smells very similar to the toxic odors of the industrial area around Water Street. It's a VERY strong smell and at it's worst is almost gag inducing. I have not smelled it before in this area and have lived here for almost 8-years. I remember noxious smells in the area a few years back which I think came from the factory on Lenox Ave, but these odors are much stronger. Where is it coming from this time? What are additional options for reporting this health hazard?

Because of the intermittent nature of the smell it seems it would be difficult to detect just by randomly visiting the neighborhood, but I appreciate the city looking into the matter. Could you look into the surrounding industrial and construction sites to make sure there are no violations related to chemical use, toxic spills, legal dumping etc? I will report it again if it returns.
