Second hand smoke issue

[Patricia C.]

Hello,

I am hoping someone can help me.

I recently purchased a condo in Norwalk. My plan is to fix it up and rent it out. It’s been 2 months since we’ve been here. 
We have been smelling cigarette smoke, and it’s pretty bad. I went to the property manager several times and there has been zero resolution. He says that he asked the neighbors if they smoked and they said no, so the property manager is saying there is nothing he can do about it. I then emailed the president of the board , and didn’t get any response. I’m at a loss at this point. I can’t begin to tell you how strong the smell is. Morning day and night. When my boyfriend was ripping the floors up, it smelled like an old bar under the subfloors. I am not sure what to do at this point to resolve this. Maybe consult a lawyer?

 Sell the condo and buy a house.
