No wonder we can still smell the godawful smells near the city center today, RULE 5 WAS REPEALED!

It was repealed after a petition from Rennesenz (Now owned by Symrise, who operates the facility at 601 Crestwood St)

As you can see, the petition was successful, as the rule was repealed

5 years old news, but still worth noting. No wonder the EPB keeps getting complaints from residents in the area but doesn't follow up on them, because they have no teeth with which to do so.
