In the 18th century (I think) people would throw their bodily waste out of the window, which is why gentlemen walk on the outside of a lady, near the kerb, so that we get it instead of them (so much for toxic masculinity). It seems to me that a modern variation of this, such as a well-aimed hosepipe or a sprinkler system would put a stop to this behaviour, or at least move it on somewhere else.

We used to call it "watering the rhubarb" in my day, and it most commonly happened when too much wine and beer had been consumed...

It sounds as if you live in a wild condo, lol. To be fair, I've used a few porta-potties in my day and don't blame anyone for not wanting to use one, lol.
