A tenement is a substandard multi-family dwelling usually occupied by the poor. They were in urban areas such as New York, Berlin, Glasgow and several others.
Tenements varied in size, but they typically housed multiple families in cramped living quarters. They could hold anywhere from a few dozen to over a hundred people, depending on the specific building and its layout.
tenements were often shared..and infested with vermin.
