Hi. I know this question has been answered a few times before, but never with reference to the plumbing in a 20+ story apartment building in New York City. I just moved into the new apartment (the previous tenant just moved out) and have noticed a strong sulphur smell coming intermittently from the bathroom faucet. As far as I can tell, the smell seems to emanate only when the cold water is running. To the left of the sink is the toilet; to the right is the shower; immediately adjacent to the toilet (in the next room) is a washer/dryer unit. Perhaps coincidentally, the smell seems to appear after doing a load of laundry. Is there any way that the smell could be sewer gas? As far as I can tell, no other apartment in the building seems to be having this problem. I would really appreciate any advice. Thanks so much in advance.
