In answer to the questions:
I am an owner.
The vehicle is in a car space, i assume he is renting it from the owner/tenant of the unit whose space it is.
The exhaust is not smoky, but extremely loud and stinky, it is a large american style pickup truck, and i’m assuming the strong smell is because it has no catalytic converter, which would also explain why it irritates my eyes. It literally fills my entire unit with a strong exhaust smell.
The basement levels do have air extraction units which operate for several hours a day to clear out exhaust gasses, but they would have no impact on this.
He has a security tag to get in and out of the building, which is a breach of the building by-laws, and i have asked the EC to do something about this but gotten nowhere. One of my issues is though that even if they do something about that, i have to assume i am getting exhaust from other cars, i just don’t notice it because they have better exhausts, but it still must not be great for my health. I was hoping that there would be some sort of building code that would prohibit this, it seems rather bad that exhaust would come into a unit through the walls and aircon outlets, especially to this extent, it is almost immediate after he parks his truck.
