Teshuvot Maharam
Q. A built a bath-house near the synagogue. The members of the community claim that the odor and smoke of the bath-house inconveniences them, and therefore, demand that A close the bath-house.
A. If A claims that the leaders of the community sold or gave to him the right to build the bath-house and if he has proof that they did not object to it for a while, after its construction and operation, he may continue to operate it, since the inconvenience is not so great, as it is being operated only once a week and the odor is mild.
SOURCES: Pr. 233.
