Is there some form of ventilation that may join up with next door?
I have an old larder where the fridge now resides, it has a mesh ventilator
in the top. Sometimes you can smell what they are cooking next door.

Im not sure if you resolved this issue but I have a gas stove and have the
same issue. I even called my gas company as I rent and the stove is not
mine. It started this weekend and I thought that maybe a tenant or landlord
was spraying for bugs in another apartment, but no.m

The smell is very similar to the spray professionals use when spraying for
insects like cockroaches. It smells in the kitchen and it's not a gas leak
as the gas company and foremen were over. Both declared the gas stove fine.
The Energir inspector, from my gas company refused to take his mask off,
when I suggested he stick his head in the oven and smell, as that is where
the smell emanates from. He didn't want to remove his mask, even for a
second, even though I told him I've been isolating for months and am not and
have not been sick

So last time I cleaned my oven was about a month ago, with hot water and
suds so I didn't use anything chemical. I'm baffled. Any ideas?
