Tenements started popping up after the population in New York started to double every decade. During this time, buildings that only housed one family would later be divided to hold more families. These became known as tenements. By 1900, two thirds of New York were living in tenements.

Tenements started to become overcrowded. By the year 1900, more than 80,000 tenements had been set up in New York. With many people living in a room it was hard to get any privacy. The rooms would so crowded at points that no light would be let in .

During this time there wasn't really plumbing.  Human waste would pour in to the streets and alleys of New York. In one year 40,000 people died from diseases caused by filth. After this 2,000 sanitation workers were hired to clean the city. Within the next 16 years, 50% of all the cities waste had been collected.

Tenements were places that were fire hazard's. Since the tenements usually had no windows it made it harder for air to get in the room. This made it harder to breath in the rooms. It also made it easier for rooms to burn easier and kill whatever it trapped inside.

During the industrial revolution, large factories started to show up. The factories themselves were dangerous. Many workers had to work 12 hours for six days. The workers wouldn't get days off or vacation days. Not only did adults work but so did young children. This was called child labor. Factories would hire them because the children worked for low wages.

When tenements began to pop up, there wasn't any toilets, there were outhouses or use a chamber pot. A chamber pot was a portable toilet. Once these were filled they would be dumped out into the street. With this the push for indoor plumbing started. After the push, indoor toilets were in almost every tenement by 1910.
