My neighbor has repeatedly used a charcoal grill that lets up smoke and fills my apartment with that and a burning smell since I moved in (in addition to aggressive behavior in response to my asthma-induced throat clearing and coughing). He is doing so now and smoke is clogging up my deck. I’m not sure if anything can be done. I’ve reported the issue to Steeplechase Management but it seems he hasn’t stopped so not sure how/if it was handled. They aren’t answering their after-hours line. I think it’s against fire code, at least.

For the past 5 days at sundown a horrible acrid stench of burning debris is making the whole neighborhood want to puke. We can’t open our windows or doors without making the houses stink inside. I speak for at least 8 people who rent in the area. Thank you for looking into this.

Fires are regularly being set on property adjacent to the Arlington Valkey Neighborhood. Several times per week, these fires are used to melt copper from wire or to make drugs. In both cases, the toxic fumes engulf residents’ yards and homes. In the case of Rosemary Dalton, this has caused illness on a few occasions. She has asked me to file this on her behalf
