PENFIELD, N.Y. — Residents in Penfield have reported an unusual odor in the area, which has been traced to a construction site on Pine Brook Circle off Penfield Road. Town officials said a crew drilling at the site hit a natural methane gas pocket, releasing the gas into the air.
Officials assured the public that there is no danger, but many neighbors have expressed their displeasure with the smell.
“Like burnt popcorn, badly burnt popcorn. Like, you know, when you cook popcorn and you leave it in there for too long. It smells like that,” some kids said.
Shemsi Dervisholli, a neighbor, said, “At nighttime, you know, people like to go to walk or something, and we can’t go because it smells bad, and we stay home.”
“Like I’m breathing, but maybe one second and coughing too much at night. In the morning is a little bit okay, but I use an inhaler sometimes,” said Sabrije Dervisholli, another neighbor.
The town said the odor should dissipate within the next few days.
