“Similar to that of vomit or rotten meat” prompts landlord nuns to file Seinfeldian lawsuit. It’s the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart Inc. vs. the Lims re food stink. NY Daily News:
The “foul” and “noxious” odors coming from Michael and Gloria Lim’s E. 19th St. apartment once got so overpowering that building workers feared there was a dead body inside, according to the suit filed by the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart.
Called in to see what caused the stench, firefighters pounded on the door for several minutes before forcing their way into the 16th-floor apartment, only to discover Gloria Lim smoking and drying fish.
“Lim admitted she is causing this smell by cooking and/or smoking fish and that it is her business and she is going to continue to do it,” the suit says.
The nuns’ lawsuit comes after building management took unsuccessful steps to get rid of the ungodly aroma, which is described in court papers as “similar to that of vomit or rotting meat.”
Even after management raised a stink, the Lims have ignored the complaints, the suit says, and continue to unleash a fishy odor that is “nearly constant.”
“We tell them to open a window or something,” a building worker said. “It’s bad to the point that one of the girls in the building is moving out because she can’t take it.”
