I live in a loft above an auto repair garage. The building is not maintained well and there is no insulation or air tight barrier between our living room floor and the garage below. Sometimes when they are working on cars the exhaust fumes become quite thick upstairs. We have a carbon monoxide detector that goes off all the time.
We have complained and asked that they use venting pipes that would bring the gasses outside, but they just ignore us.
The building is zoned as a garage and there does not appear to be a certificate allowing our lease.
What is the best course of action that would 1- make them stop poisoning us 2- keep us from getting evicted.
I look forward to your responses.
