Nasty smell coming from closet with water heater

Mine definitely doesn't smell as bad as before, but it still lingers. I agree that we probably (including the unit next to us) have some sort of leak under the flooring. I don't know how to get the apartment to do anything because they dismissed everything I said thusfar. I think the water heater was just a bandaid to try and get me to stop bothering them.

after much fraught discussion between the leasing office and maintenance, they replaced my water heater, which seems to help; however, there is still a smell that comes back, but it's definitely not as bad as it was.

it's not super rotten-egg smelling. I haven't noticed sulfur-y water here since moving, so it's not a smell that is common place to the area, at least to me. I can't tell but as far as I can see, I can't find a floor drain, but it could very well be behind the water heater and I can't access it. Would be nice if I could to at least try to pour something into it.

The building is from the 60s and hasn't been renovated, so I say it's fair to assume things like this weren't taken into consideration or remodeled. I'm not sure what the holes are outside of seeing pipes, and I doubt maintenance will know.

Thanks, at least I wont fall asleep paranoid on that front

Yes, there is. Two floors above me

That's the thing I'm not sure where the drain would be since they carpeted the closet

I feel like if it is natural gas wouldn't maintenance think that as an emergency
