poor ventilation due to the lack of windows
C
rooms that were too bright due to little shade
D
large rooms that were too open and needed dividers

Tenement buildings were often crowded, with small rooms and inadequate windows. Poor ventilation made the air inside unhealthy, so the common problem was poor ventilation due to the lack of windows. Bright rooms and overly large rooms were not typical problems in cramped tenements.
