Which means the suing neighbor has a hole in THEIR side of the wall.

Remember this is old, probably some type of concrete wall.

Let's say it is 6 inches thick.

Each owner should be responsible for THEIR 3 inches.

Just wanted to add, some cooking smells are a health risk. My sister has a severe allergic reaction to fish and if she smells it her throat closes up and it can trigger a severe reaction for her.

It appears that this is not a separate house, but a housing complex (see photo of 'house'):

The plaintiffs (who sued after mediation failed) are suing for $500,000.00. Good luck with that.

Ignore the 'precedent' setting claim of the OP's original link. Temporary injunctions do not have precedent value. It is 'temporary' (usually 10 days or so, depending on jurisdiction).

Did you look at the attached video?

The injunction says, ""smoke sneaking in from the HOLE IN THE BASEMENT"

The neighbors doing the suing have said, "If patches the holes all would be OK."

Bottom line is this:

If the domain belong to the person who buys it, then they control it. I don't see any other alternative. If there is one, then what is it?

i don't understand "If the domain belong to the person who buys it,"means and how it applies here.

The building SHARE a Wall which divides the 2 houses. They EACH OWN half of the wall.

Huh? Quote that from a penal code, not from urban legend.

You've heard of "common law"?

Try common sense law.

Most law ties directly or indirectly to common sense.

Proximity relates to possession, as you cannot be responsible for, or control, that which you cannot reasonably or rightfully access.
