STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- We smell it, but the powers that be don't.

Numerous reports of a foul odor have been made on Staten Island on Tuesday.

Over 100 people have posted on SILive and social media about the stench wafting over our Island from Tottenville to St. George and the Goethals Bridge to South Beach.

But so far, officials don't have any answers and that stinks.

Have they gone nose blind to the Island funk?

Calls were reported to the FDNY throughout the borough and even into Brooklyn, said a spokesman for the FDNY/EMS.

The city Department of Environmental Protection has received no odor complaints from Staten Island, according to a spokesman.

A Sanitation spokesman said that his department has not received any complaints and has no idea what is causing the smell.

City Emergency Management doesn't have any information about an odor in the Staten Island area on Tuesday, a spokeswoman said.

"Smells burnt, but I can't describe it," said a reader who reached out to the Advance on social media. She added that the order was "similar to burnt plastic, but much worse."

The social media poster noticed the odor near the Goethals Bridge and also in Travis and New Springville.

A woman who drives around the Island for work said the scent "smells like rotten garbage, like the back of a garbage truck."

The woman noticed the odor in New Dorp, Westerleigh and West Brighton.

The FDNY was unable to pinpoint the cause of the odor, but boats offloading fuel were considered as a possible source, the spokesman said.

No fuel spills were reported, the spokesman said.
