I lived in an old, shoddy building in Queens once, and we
frequently had rats (we assumed) dying in the walls. The stench was
exactly as you put it -- faint, but obtrusive -- at first. I don't
know why I'm telling you this, especially as the first time I've
ever responded here, except that the very vivid scent-memory of our
main stairway just bloomed when I read this, and you have my
empathy (and sympathy).
