The noxious sewer smell has returned. I've looked in the hallway, and there is (as BinarySpiral suggested) a plumbing connection that's not capped. So that'll be the next thing to close up.

And we haven't noticed the sewer-gas smell since. Go figure. We capped that vent, using the adjustable plug/tester/whatever. And we haven’t noticed the sewer-gas smell since. Go figure.

If it's made of metal and has a seam along the length, this is the vent pipe outside. There should be a smaller PVC pipe in that closet higher up near the water supply - that'll be the drain. If you don't use it - the trap will dry up and allow sewer gas to enter your home. Cap it or dump a gallon of water down it every few weeks (or longer depending on the RelH) That first photo is a dryer vent that shouldn’t stink at all.

It turns out some numbnuts in the neighborhood was emptying his Winnebago's refuse tanks into the drainage sewers. Terrible for the environment and just a real swell thing to do.

Outside my bathroom they put the pipe and a screw cap so if theres any blockages they have easy access.

Boy, was I thrilled. And then the city slapped me with a zoning violation and made me tear the whole thing down.
