Re: Indoor Air
First, I'd be curious as to 'where' the smoke is smelled by the upstairs owner.

Out on the balcony? Sure, we can understand that.

While inside the condo? Okay, now there is a problem. *Quite possibly* there is some fire blocking missing somewhere, and the smoke and odor are rising up through that/those openings. NOT GOOD.

What type of floor system? Is it fire rated, and, if so (it should be), *is it* properly fire blocked and sealed? Probably not. NOT GOOD.

If one is simply concerned with indoor air quality, there are environmental labs (who have industrial hygienists and/or micro biologists on staff) who can do those types of testing.
