This is what is supposed to be a vent in our kitchen that connects to the apartment complex’s ductwork.

In non-burger units it’s a 100mm vent hole. The cut is about 11.5x10.5cm
The owner before the previous owner was a fucking tard and did this shit, so it’s our problem now. We want this fixed ASAP as this is a ductwork that is also hooked up to the bathrooms, so shit smell will occasionally come into our kitchen.
Any suggestions?
The supposed original hole going to the ductwork is kinda awkwardly placed as you can see, being obfuscated by a metal beam.

Is this in the floor, wall, or ceiling? Also, 'ductwork'? What kind? Vent or HVAC?

It’s on the wall, right below the ceiling.
Ventilation only, air is pulled in.
Pic related is on the inside through that hole
>>
>>2989538
so the ibeam holding up the wall is just on its side?

>Ventilation only, air is pulled in.
clearly not otherwise you wouldn't smell shit from the bathroom.
you can't connect a cooker hood to it or anything, so if its annoying you just close it off.

Call the landlord and have them fix it.

Cut a piece of sheet metal from some duct on the roof of your complex and do this.

It’s not a rental. I own it.

Thanks, that’s actually what I had in mind as well but wanted to hear out here. Now I’m an ESL, and also clearly no expert in ventilation terminology so what is the "tube" thing called what I will connect to this hole creating a socket to add another longer tube?

Sealing it is another option but I still wanna try to make it work.
