Even then, an AAV is not a solution, as they are for individual fixtures, not a waste stack vent for multiple bathrooms. I do recognize the issues with venting fans and admit using the waste vent is a clever albeit illegal solution. Fixing the vent through the roof will get everything working even if it's technically still wrong. | |

Your fix doesn't pass my smell test. You might have to do a proper fix. Does your building have a fund for this sort of thing... Do you pay maintenance fees? | |

Apartment but you really mean a place you bought (ie, some would call it a condo) you need to sort out who is responsible for what, where - but the end result is that you still need to fix it right - it's just going to cost you more, probably. | |
