Can a tenant who urinates in the lobby of a building cause the odor of urine in the public areas of the building to become a nuisance?

Causing an odor of urine in public areas of a building has been held to constitute a nuisance [see eg 21702178 Broadway LLC v. Ross 14 Misc.3d 137(A) ]. Respondent's behavior which results in the stench of urine throughout the public areas of the building, constitutes a nuisance and has interfered with the ability of other tenants to use and enjoy those public areas of the building. This is true even though Respondent is not intentionally engaging in such conduct, which is attributable in part to his medical conditions.
