E-mail your districts police and cc your council person. BPD needs to know about this. Squeak squeak little wheel!

OP, please don’t assume this is your neighbors. This could be anything; it could be coming from in your house, somewhere else on your street, or a major leak somewhere in your neighborhood. The Department of Health has an ecology section that investigates weird odors and that is really who should be coming out to help you. Call 311 like yesterday and let them know what’s up.
Since you have a VOC detector, even the cheapest models give a readout and keep a datalog. When they come out, show them what you have. Good luck.

Thank you, we have that kind of detector it never goes off and a air quality detector from Amazon. It alerts my phone if the air is bad.

Can you make a timestamped video of the VOC detector showing positive readings that appear to be sketchy? I would create a chain of evidence/information, as top commenter suggested.
This should be something you can do without causing immediate friction with and for your fam, right?

Curtis Bay is not too far from where I live, we have a similar house here. The number of drug houses in this area really increased in the last two or three years. In my area it seems someone with ill intentions moves in as soon as a family moves out, and the new residents often sell drugs, offer drugs to passers by, create odd smells. I’ve never seen anything like it in all my years in the city.
I suggest you install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The squatters in the house near me did something to the hot water heater, I imagine to get hot water without paying the gas bill. The house immediately next door to them had problems with carbon monoxide and then the fire. The carbon monoxide gave the man, the one living immediately nextdoor, headaches. I remember he showed dysphasia last year, I was there when the police were dismissive to him because of his speech patterns. Carbon monoxide poisoning can alter your ability to form phrases and make it hard to make yourself understood. It’s a shame all of us recognized that but the police were indifferent. Please get a carbon monoxide detector just in case. Your story sounds so much like the beginning of the house on Saint Benedict Street near me. I wish you well, please keep writing updates. Stay safe.

We have a household of normally 4 people. 3 out of 4 smell it when it comes in including a voc detector.

Maybe it isn't so weird if there never was any meth tho? Two separate agencies checked it out, found nothing.
Let's not try to find the Boston bomber again here, Reddit...

Smelling things that others cannot can be a sign of temporal seizures. Have an EEG. And a CT scan

Not to mention my family just threatened to kick us out if I call again because I am causing stress for calling and may incur fines? I never heard of that.

There's little bit of chlorine in the water. Not enough to be harmful

Thank you OP and don’t get me wrong, I am very very sorry you are going thru this. I wish I had better advice, but I will agree with one poster here. I think you should call the Mayors office EVERY week and tell them you think they are cooking meth and the BCP and FD are not working together at all. I think they will rattle some cages. This must be so frightening to live next to!

A cop car has been there since the 4th of July shooting, unrelated to the squeegee incident. They absolutely do not enforce anything traffic related. The cop cars for the squeegee-ers sit up at Charles and Conway where they actually do the squeegeeing, but also enforce nothing

Ah yes, the code of honor. I won’t run a red light but I’ll make a right on red, hook a u-turn and go through a green light. Beautiful.
