If the smell isn’t coming in through the windows then it might be through voids in the floor and ceiling.
Are the chimneys still present and are they capped?

We used to live in ex-LA block of six. We were first floor (with ground below and second above). Our neighbour in the other first floor flat was a weed smoker (terrible, noisy waster of a neighbour as it happens - full package).
We could smell it in our kitchen, even with all windows closed, so I can only think it was somehow coming through the shared brickwork.
Anything you do to block the fireplaces will need to be well sealed - don’t be surprised if you can still smell it.

I can smell weed in my house from our neighbour’s place (victorian terrace).
It seems worst in the two 1st floor bedrooms with fireplaces. The rooms below also have fireplaces but are semi blocked up with insulation board.
My logical mind says that if the weed smell can get through then surely smoke could which should be impossible.
We are going to block up the upstairs fireplaces and also speak to him about blocking his up as well. What is the best way to do it?
