Responsa for Bava Batra 45:7
רבי יהודה אומר בית ארבעת כורין וכו': אמר רב פפא ואיתימא רב זביד זאת אומרת טוענין ללוקח וטוענין ליורש
Raba said: It means, where there is a succession of pigeon cotes.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' So that the birds can fly from one to another. ');"><sup>10</sup></span> Then should not the prohibition be laid down because of the pigeon cotes themselves?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' And not because of the pigeons of a town. ');"><sup>11</sup></span>
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.
