Hi
We had a condominium thoroughly renovated. After moving in, it turned out that one room (children's room) developed strange odors. It smells like a kitchen or sometimes musty.
Context:
- 3rd floor apartment building
- on the ground floor there is a pizza service
A neighbor has a similar problem and wrote the following but received no response:
"As you may recall, after such a long time, the district office no longer considered itself responsible for investigating the matter with the unsealed cable ducts below in the pizza taxi and referred it to the property management.
This sealing was omitted back then (around 2005/2006) because the suspended ceiling as well as a ventilation unit were already installed.
During a previous inspection by the responsible chimney sweep, this fact was confirmed by measurements.
We notice this daily through the more or less strong odor nuisance in our living spaces.
Furthermore, there is certainly a danger that in the event of a fire, toxic (deadly) smoke gases can enter the apartments from the 1st to 3rd floors (possibly also 4th floor right) into the apartment."
Additionally, I also believe that odors from our own kitchen pass through the exhaust hood via the socket and cable duct into the children's room.
Questions:
How should I proceed? How can sockets be sealed airtight? What kind of craftsmen are suitable here? How can I have our apartment adequately sealed? How should I approach this best and cost-effectively?
