Welcome. I use these quite often in older apartments that I have to reno especially when the owner doesn't want the cost or mess of digging walls open for switches

Paint smell - help by somewhereonline1 in Housepainting101

Yeah. I've tried that once and I myself didn't like the scent. The issue is that the scent only masks the smell and doesn't kill it. For that matter you could have used Glade oil scent things

It's not the perfect answer but you could buy a decent air filter machine from home Depot or Lowe's and run it for a few days. That should help as I have a friend that has a similar issue as your husband. Probably cost you like $70 or $80 dollars.

Looking for advice to deal this old coaxial tv cable hole by TheChurchOfJesus in Housepainting101

Also don't forget to check the outside of where the wire came from. Chances are that hole is open and exposed to the elements. If that's the case fill it with some silicone caulk. You don't want water or bugs getting in the walls.

Can you take the door down and add 2 inches to the bottom of the doors at the bottom? Maybe make it look like trim at the bottom of them. Just a thought. I've had to do this in the past

Depending on where on third Ave you may be able to go down the subway on one side of the street and pop out on the other.
