The building was touted by the state as the greenest high-rise in the nation when it opened in 2001.

--

The building has had some heating and cooling and leaking issues too .. bet that place smelled real ripe in spots.

Doesn’t this qualify as a capitol offense in Kalifornia?

has received hundreds of complaints over the years about foul odors

Ah yes, a symptom also experienced by the wonderful "if it's yellow, let it mellow; if it's brown, flush it down" ludites who don't know how to properly use a toilet (flush after every usage).

Something is odd about this, if the cartridge is replaced at intervals and the janitors spray the inside of the urinal every night, then where are the odors coming from.

What would the urinal have to do with wet floors?

My plumbing supply warehouse has been using these for years, none of us plumbers and plumbing contractors have seen that problem.

I think the maintenance crew is just too locked into old Mexico ways to perform their duties.

Yep, I remember when they had those long troughs in the bar bathroom. The smell was unmistakable.

I’ve noticed that buildings where they have installed these have slowly acquired an outhouse smell that just does not go away

I curse every time my ‘Ralph Nader’ toilet at home clogs up due to insufficent flushing power. Every thing liberals touch turns to dreck.

Gee, when I was a kid everyone had waterless toilets, of course we didn't keep them in the house. Times change I guess :)

But VanLaningham says CalEPA has received hundreds of complaints over the years about foul odors and wet floors.

Okay, so how is it the toilet vendors’ fault that CalEPA’s guys can’t hit the bowl?

Can you imagine the stink? I can. The sad part is that anyone with a brain would know those things wouldn’t work properly.
