Reply to comment by DontBeEvil1 in New neighbors cook Indian food every night. Whole hallway smells like an Indian restaurant all the time. What can we dooooooo by [deleted]

I disagree. Moving 100% helps with smells in the hallway.

I disagree. An air purifier won't help at all with the smells in the hallway.

It won't help with smells period.

Air purifiers remove particulate, smells are primarily gases, specifically VOC's. Carbon for example will remove it, but the volume you need dwarfs even what commercial air purification systems use. It's more economical to just bring in fresh air. The carbon filters in air purifiers are mainly just a marketing gimmick so they can say "2 in 1".

Might help if placed in the hallway

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.

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.

“Thinking about asking the management co. Or the owner” —— anything but talk to the brown family that probably cooks amazing food huh? I think I know what, or should I say “who”, is the problem in this post….
