The cast iron pipe has been replaced by a plastic pipe held in by a blob of what appears to be putty, and does not comply with the regulations as it is only half the height it should be, reaching only the bedroom windows of the nearby houses (nice!?). The ridiculous cap on the top releases the stench in a downward direction. A man living a few doors away told me, "The old pipe was replaced about a year ago and this one stinks." It is a perfect example of stupidity and bad workmanship; moreover it isn't even exactly upright.
