Typical tenement buildings were multi-family urban dwellings, often found in cities like New York during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. They were usually characterized by their cramped living conditions, with small apartments that lacked basic amenities such as indoor Plumbing and adequate ventilation. These buildings were often constructed quickly and cheaply to accommodate the influx of immigrants and workers, leading to overcrowded and unsanitary living environments. Despite their challenges, tenements were crucial in providing housing for many low-income families during this period.
