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.

"Tenement" is merely an old word for what we would nowadays call an apartment building. In New York City, the term "old tenement" has a specific meaning when contrasted with "new tenement". Old tenements are building built under the "old tenement law" of NYC. They are typically shaped like dumbbells, or letter Hs. This is because of a new law that required each room to have a window opening onto a courtyard. This was done to bring in light and fresh air. Since old tenements were built between 1879 and 1901, their architectural style is typical of that era. They usually have a large stoop, an ornamented facade and a decorative parapet.
A tenement is a room or rooms forming separate flats within a house. Therefore, the length (frontage?) is variable.
