Theirs been a foul rotten egg like smell coming from the AC vents. The smell is very strong when the AC's on recirculate. Last time I brought it in to the dealership they said there is a fungus/mold buildup on the AC Condenser. They did a quick fix by spraying a "mold-inhibitor" on it which makes it smell like cinnamon each time I use the AC. Its been a few months and the mold smell is back.
Should I make the dealership swap out a new AC Condensor or am I being unreasonable? I'm worried about the long term affects.

They wouldn't replace the condenser it would be the evaporator. And have them check some items for you. 1) the drain, make sure its not clogged. 2) The refrigerant charge, if the system is low on charge it can freeze on the evaporator and cause water (condensate) to pool up in the drain pan. 3) Change your cabin filter for max air flow.
If the smell is still their make them clean the evaporator.
