Meth lab chemical fumes in apartment building
May 11, 2010 by Meth Lab Homes · 2 Comments
I live in an 8-Unit apartment bldg in Arcadia, CA where we are experiencing a lot of consternation from chemical fumes coming in to our apartment from the apartment above us. We have notified the local police dept. but they say they can’t do anything about it without proof of any drug activity. Since we are not certain that the fumes are drug related our land lord says his hands are tied, and doesn’t know what to investigate. He didn’t experience what we are experiencing after a 15 minute visit, and after talking with near by tenants who have denied any chemical smells, etc. he needs proof also. But we’re going crazy with these chemical pollutants, and don’t know where to go for help. Any suggestions? Plz advz
When you smell the fumes again, call the police department back. They CAN enter a home without a search warrant if meth cooking is in progress. It is known as “exigent circumstances”, meaning it is an emergency situation. Meth labs explosions and fires happen all of the time, so if they are cooking meth, then the police should intervene – especially since you live in a eight-unit apartment building. An active meth lab in your building puts everyone at risk!
Same here the place i live i also feel that lot of consternation from chemical fumes coming in to our apartment from the apartment above us. We have notified the local police dept. but like you guys we are also facing same response.
