Description:

The Air District inspector found the source of this odor to be a landscaping operation at an apartment complex along Hudson Ave west of 3rd St. There is a pile of odorous mulch that is being spread throughout the grounds. The odors are emitted during the spreading of the material which the contractor has said will take a week to complete. The inspector has asked that the pile be covered during non-work hours and for the contractor to try watering as a method to reduce the spread of odor. The inspector will follow up and we will provide updates.
