There is an extremely disgusting smell eminating from the hallway of my apartment building which I think is probably a dead neighbour. (not sure which one) The smell is starting to make it into my apartment.
If I go to the building's maintenance department, what will they likely do? Will they check each apartment? What if it continues? Can I contact the city's health department? Any input would be appreciated.

LOL... very attractive headline you've got here. U got my attention.
Anyway, contact your maintenance or landlord about the smell, if nothing is done then call the cops.

I am having the same issue and i dont know what to do... in the last couple of days there has been a terrible smell in our hall way in our apparement building. I have rang and emailed property managment because its getting worse everyday ive never smelled a dead body so i dont know exactly what it smells like. I really hope its not but we havent been able to find the source of the smell. Our neighbours 2 months ago misteriously moved out without telling anyone not even their landlord and im worried the smell is coming from their flat.... Help!

By all means report it to the building maintenance people and let them check. If they don't do anything about it, call the health department. It may be as simple as a dead mouse in some corner, or much more serious.

You call the police and ask for a welfare check, they will come out and not need a warrant due to an existing problem, the possibility of a dead body, they can go into an apartment this way, with or without the manager.

Decomposing flesh has a distinct smell, one you'll NEVER forget, one that never leaves your nose. Call the cops, they know that smell, and can tell right away. You'll smell burned coffee grounds next, that's what they put on the stove to kill the stink during investigation.

First of all calm your self if it is not you who did it .
Stay stable and confirm if it is a dead body or not.
Call police .
They will ask you how did you noticed and when and any suspect you doubt.
If any one trying to blame you ,ask them for finger print scan,foot print detection, examination of blood in that area to match.
Dont worry tell them what you know and relax
Bye

Report it to maintenance, tell them it smells like something decomposing.

I would call the police. They will check it out and make any other notifications as needed.

tell someone. that's the best you can do. they will check the apartments around you, and then do whatever's necessary.
