Asking Eric: How do I fix this neighbor problem without coming off as a Karen?
Briefly

A tenant in a high-end apartment building reports a terrible odor from a nearby apartment, affecting common areas and the pool. The smell, described as a mix of rotting garbage and dirty diapers, has not prompted complaints from other residents, likely due to fear of being labeled negatively. The writer is hesitant to report the issue to management but acknowledges the potential health risks posed by the odor and the need for action. It is advised to inform building management for investigation.
