"I have not heard of the perfuming... nor can I say I've smelt any Christmas-like odors or anything like that." – A local resident commenting on the ineffective scent masking.
"When it's hot that's when the smell is unbearable... I can't see how pumping fumes in the air would be safe- especially people with asthma." – Another Gowanus resident expressing concern.
DEP documents note the perfume misting ended July 25... after resident complaints over the Yuletide aroma." – A report on the cessation of the scent spraying operation.
Council Member Shahana Hanif noted her office has received multiple concerns from Gowanus residents about unpleasant odors... related to construction activities.
