Example
The city implemented regulations to improve the safety and living conditions of tenement dwellers, requiring landlords to provide basic amenities such as sanitation facilities and ventilation.
The old tenement building housed multiple families in small, cramped apartments, each with its own distinct character and stories to tell.
Despite its dilapidated appearance, the tenement served as a refuge for those struggling to make ends meet, offering a semblance of stability and belonging.
