After numerous complaints from residents reporting a gas odor and one day after a natural gas outage in Methuen  that has shut down most of that city’s heating source due to lack of gas pressure, a gas  odor opposite 231 Washington Street  is  being looked into by NStar.

“It appears to be an underground leak that’s causing the natural gas odor ” said a worker from Nstar who was at the repair site early Friday morning with a repair crew and a police detail.

Last year The Somerville News reported a gas odor in the same area.
