I lived in NYC. Problem with non-individual pipes is that you get Marijuana smoke and cigarette smoke from neighboring apartments to yours. Also if there are multiple units, there is always plausible deniability on who the culprit is.
- josefritzishere 1y agoThis is real and very stinky.
- vladvasiliu 1y agoWouldn’t the air pressure keep whatever smoke is in an apartment outside the pipe ? So that would prevent it from traveling from one to the other. I used to live in a high rise which had a common pipe for extraction, I never had any odor coming in, and I know my neighbors were smoking since I would get smoke if the windows were open.
- TuringNYC 1y agoYes, depends on how much air pressure there is. The downside to too much air pressure out is that you also suck out valuable cold air (in summer) or hot air (winter.) If the air pressure isnt sufficient, you get some smoke coming thru, esp if the pipes are horizontal. Also depends on how much people spoke and depends on how many units the exhaust travels past before being sucked up into the building-top exhaust.
