It wasn't loud and constantly running when you checked out the apartment before you moved in?

I'm glad your place is perfect (for now) but please do come to this forum in the future and ask for help when you need it because I for one will drop everything to ask why you didn't realize the neighbor had 5 dogs before you moved in.

To be faaaaaiiiiiir… a situation where a nuisance existed before you moved in significantly limits the legal options available to address the nuisance.

Determining whether the condition was preexisting or developed after OP moved in is kind of important.

> the exhaust appears very old and not well maintained

Sounds like the exhaust has been there a while. Now - was it malfunctioning when they looked at the apartment/moved in and this is a recent change I think is a valid question.

I rented an apartment once, off a local veterinarian, right next to his practice. While I lived there he had built a crematory right outside my back window, the place was typical Pittsburgh 1st floor in the front, walk out basement in the back so my apartment was basically at smoke-stack level.

My lease was up and I ended up moving out for other reasons, but man I would have been pissed if I was stuck in a lease and had to look at that thing running.
