Living in Gowanus means living among its odors, which have reached new levels of intensity during the construction of underground sewage tanks, with residents describing the stench as overwhelming.
As construction continues, even long-time residents like one man who has lived there for 50 years have noted the smell as particularly bad, mixing coal tar and sewage odors.
Residents have expressed their distress over the odors, stating that during some days the stench is so strong it feels like they can taste it, affecting their quality of life.
The construction project aims to improve sewage overflow issues, but currently, it has resulted in more pungent odors that are causing sleep disturbances and the inability to use local parks.
