Sounds a lot like the back-to-backs of England - perhaps not surprising considering they have were built at roughly the same time.
As back-to-backs were built as the cheapest possible housing for the impoverished working class, their construction was usually sub-standard. Their configuration did not allow for sufficient ventilation or sanitation. Toilets and water supplies were shared with multiple households in enclosed courtyards. Back-to-backs gained an unfavourable reputation for poor levels of health and hygiene.

No, it’s really not, it’s just that you retards forced any upgrades and renovations into taxes instead.
Bingo.
The misery of the back-to-backs was slowly remedied throughout the course of the 20th century - basically none were left in the original forms by the late 70's/early 80's - they were all either demolished or renovated to have their own toilets.
