My phone doesn't have a camera, that I know of.

Dean, Thanks so much I really do appreciate your help and copied and pasted it all on a notepad :)

dilalio, Would a diary help if I can't really prove any of it? I mean what happens to make the various smells come and go etc? Also, since I have only been here about 6 months and I signed a year long lease, and I can't remember what you call it but the first year is like a sort of...

See the picture of the boiler flue on this page next to the 1. 2. 3. through 10? That is what the boiler flue looks like right below me a little to the left when I look out below my bedroom window from the neighbors below me. See here: http://gasboilerguide.com/gas-boiler-flue-regulations/...

Hi, Unfortunately, I don't have any kind of a camera. But when I read your comment, I went into my bedroom again to look out the window and noticed something that I had never seen before. Just below the exhaust pipe that goes out of my own kitchen window is the downstairs neighbor's exhaust...

Alec, Thank you. I will do that. I should think that fumes causing breathing difficulties wouldn't be thought of as some sort of a 'luxury', or something that I wanting as 'extras'. My problem though is that when I first moved here I noticed that the pressure gage was set almost to barely...

I have to agree with you there. JohnD. I remember back when I was in the USA and some of the things Landlords did. Like one thing that stands out to me is when I was living in this old house that was huge and divided up into section where 3 different Tenants were living, including me and my...

Thank you for that. I kept wondering what everyone meant when they said CH. When I was in Texas most everyone I knew had the kind of heating and air conditioning where there were vents in the floor, and that was my idea of Central Heating. But now that I think about it I guess a boiler is the...

Thankfully, no black stuff is coming out when I bleed the radiator, just pungent smelling stuff, really strong. But after the first time I did it, it got a little less smell.

Since there already is a short pipe coming out of the house from the boiler does that mean that it already has a boiler direct on it? and if so, can you get a longer one or like an extension on it, or maybe one of those elbow thing to make it point up? I am living in an upstairs flat and so that...

It was great this morning not to have to wake up to the rabbit pen smell in the living room and not to have to breathe all that in my bedroom all night, since I finally got this Timeclock thing working and it automatically turned off the boiler or heat all night. Then this morning it came right...

Thank you. I do know that this one man from the Water Department came out at one point and I showed him when I first moved in here in the bedroom that if you look to the left you can see the pipe thing coming outside from the boiler in the kitchen, and exhaust was billowing out of it by my...

Okay, thanks so much, maybe if I could at least get them to worry about the boiler since it would cost them money if it went out, then I could also possibly get them to put in the boiler flue redirect kit while they are at it, to help me out as well.

Well as it turns out the little switch things on the timer dial on mine have to be pointed inward rather than outward to work and make it come on rather than the other way around as it said on the video that I watched.

Hello heat service, Thanks so much, it seems that if I could get them to do this it would be great. I noticed that the exhaust is right around the window and I have wondered why they don't have it further away from the house. So I am going to ask the Landlord about this then.
