Overcrowding and Tenement Houses.
Life in a tenement was often crowded, unsanitary, and lacking in basic amenities. Families lived in small, cramped apartments with poor ventilation and shared bathrooms. Tenement buildings were often overcrowded, with multiple families living in close quarters, leading to privacy issues and increased risk of disease transmission.
Tenement housing is a rundown apartment that mostly immigrants used to survive because they wanted a better life in America. It was also filthy, unclean, and wreaked.
Life in a tenement was not good. It was really small and crowded. There usually was many immigrant families living in one tenement apartment. There was no plumbing. You had to get water from a faucet on the main floor of the tenement and bring it back up to your apartment. If you had to go to the bathroom there was a bucket for the whole tenement and when it was full someone had to bring it out to the street and dump it.
