Today, I finally determined the source of the horrible smell that periodically invades my apartment: there's nothing wrong with the plumbing as I previously thought, I can just smell my neighbors pooping in their bathroom on the other side of the wall. FML

You need to contact your building services. You clearly have leaks in that wall. Smell won't go through two panels of sealed drywall and whatever insulation should be in that wall as well.

Ask your neighbors nicely to make sure they use the toilet for pooping. Pooping in the room that coincidentally has the toilet is not "close enough."

It's probably that the vent fan ducting in both of your apartments is connected together, so it's easier for their poopy air to go into your place than out the ductwork. A piece of cardboard over your vent fan, removed when you need to use it and replaced afterward, will do the trick. Or you can leave your vent fan on all the time, which is neither energy efficient or good nor good for the fan.
