Indoor smoking/drug use continues to be a problem in Building E of the South 67 Condos.  Currently I'm having a problem determining the source since it seems to be coming from E28 stronger than it is from E26, however it's more likely to be coming from E26 that E28 since a call from Charles to E26 has put a stop to it in the past.  I'm expecting the pollution from E26 is affecting E28 based on the room he's doing it in (probably his bedroom).  Because the source currently is undetermined, I haven't texted Charles on this yet, but will later if it gets strong enough that I just need to get it stopped regardless of who's doing it (I'll let Charles find out who the culprit is).  For the time being I'll be using my respirator off & on & be leaving my blinds open so they can see I'm being forced to use it again.

Health problems from indoor pollution today:

• Chest Pains
• Coughing
• Dizziness
• Earaches
• Headaches
• Hoarse Voice
• Irritated Eyes
• Migraines
• Nausea
• Ringing Ear
• Sore Throat
• Trouble Breathing

UPDATE:  At this point the source if verified, it's coming from E26; text has been sent to Charles, however I'm not sure how he intends to deal with it since it's obvious calls & messages don't seem to do a bit of good with this stubborn asshole.  I think what I've been smelling from E28 is just what comes from E26 while he's in his bedroom, so this only shows that he's affecting other units besides mine.  I expect E26 is also affecting E22, given nobody is currently living there as far as I know.

UPDATE:  Even after texting Charles, the pollution continued for most of the night & I was forced to use my respirator most of the night.  Charles finally responded to that first text nearly 6 hours after it was sent.  After that response, I went into detail on the problem over 4 more texts, to which I didn't get a response.  The fact of the matter is that pollution from E26 affects every unit on this side of the building on the top level; it's possible it might be affecting other units on the lower level also, but I told Charles he would need to verify that with them.  One other thing I mentioned to Charles was that he should let the owner of E22 (currently vacant) know to shut off his central air until he could sell the unit; one sales attempt of the unit already fell through because of that smell & he had to do a redo of that entire unit to get rid of the smell before, only for it to happen again through the vents because E26 is still doing it.

I got tired of waiting for something to be done about it where it looked like nothing was going to be done about it, so I started hitting the wall from my bedroom.  I'm still hearing banging from what sounds like it's in the hallway at night, so I expect he's pissing off other units with his daily pollution also, however I still haven't determined who is doing it.  In any case if I did find out who it was, it seems likely their on my side to get it stopped, so I wouldn't really want to rat out an ally even if I did know.

I attempted to call Charles today to see if he's still attempting to deal with this problem or not, seems he wasn't in the office.  I'm going to try to avoid calling him on his cell, but I will if that's what it comes down to.  I can send him another text, but I expect I probably won't get a response.  I know I WILL be doing one or the other if the pollution builds again & I'm able to verify it's coming from there.

UPDATE:  Tonight I verified that there is more than one person living in E26, as I spotted a woman leaving the unit at 11:47 PM & locking the door with her own keys.  This means that the person Charles is calling when I send him a text might not be the same person that is causing the problem & his claim of not doing anything inside might be correct, but it's definitely still coming from that unit.  Next time I have to text Charles about this problem, I'll be sure to disclose that information so we can get this matter resolved by calling the person who really is causing the problem; it might even make sense to contact him beforehand so we can find out who it is & get contact information for then when it happens again.  Of course I don't expect anybody in that unit is going to give up that information willingly, so Charles might just need to keep calling the same person until he gets tired of the calls & decided to give up who is really doing it.

My unit reached a peak low of 65° F today due to being unable to use my heater via central air due to the pollution coming from E26.  This is also the same reason why my gas has been shut off since September of 2015 & the reason why my only heating source at this time is a space heater that I borrowed from my father about 2 years ago.  This run of the problem has been happening every day since 12/6/2015.
