But if you constantly call the fire department, file complaints through the 311, and go into the restaurant and complain every day it may make a difference. By getting people to complain in my building we managed to get the obnoxious and over-prized pizza joint next door to move their chimney and make it higher. Until that happened we were getting smoked out of our apartments. Oh yeah, and a call to the fire department telling them you smell smoke certainly helps. Also complain to your city council rep's constituent representative. That can make a difference too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-88417446682860398462015-10-16T09:03:10.251-04:002015-10-16T09:03:10.251-04:00Good luck.

EPA should do an inspection of what they are burning in their ovens besides bagels.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-79249070281133951102015-10-15T10:02:39.415-04:002015-10-15T10:02:39.415-04:00I've been smelling it on 11th between A and B....I've been smelling it on 11th between A and B.

I live next door (basically) and we have been smelling it on and off since Monday, well really Sunday, since they fired up the oven for a short time on that day as well. They don't even seem to be fully operational yet and already it's a near constant odor, and some claim, toxic. Nobody from the company has come forward to address our concerns (did they install a scrubber like they failed to do at the Elizabeth Street location?). I feel a community board meeting in my future. Capitalism rules, okay? It doesn't matter how negative their business impact. I would really appreciate if someone came forward to address this potential problem responsibly. Black Seed rep? Could you speak to this odor, potential air pollution/toxins? Is this what we all have to live with now?
