immigrant life in new york around 1890 with the overcrowded buildings and then new york landowners have always been very creative in how to get around the good intentions of performers so at one point a lot is going to say every room has to have a window and so the thought is in that way if you have to have windows the owners will knock holes in the walls and the windows will let in more air pit with the builders to? they took the window between one room and another mini-apartment in and that way they would satisfy the law. the landlords wield a lot of political clout so that lott initially didn't allow for that. the tenement act of 1901 and new york landowners been pushed back in 1902 in 1903 they got the law changed to make it last for strict even more family -- more friendly for landlords. they rarely talked about the ways in which the law was backed because of the pressure from new york city's. the politically powerful landlords. so it's ice bin the intention to make immigrants lives better and i should say it's not just landlords. immigrants themselves are often fighting for things

for much of new york history there are no housing codes. the main thing that dictated the shape and size of new york houses was the shape of the lot which was typically 25' x 100' which creates a very narrow type of building and the height of the buildings was dictated mostly by how much the walls could hold before the building would collapse and that is if you look at the buildings around here it is rare they are 6 stories because that seem to be as much as people imagined you could build them before they might topple over onto the building next to them. starting in the late 19th century housing codes developed and start to put in restrictions. in some ways, reformers believe that through legislation they can make immigrants lives better. and so laws are put in place that for instance will limit the number of people who can occupy a single apartment but those laws are typically flouted. that photograph of immigrant life in new york around 1890, when you go on inspection tours with the health police and find these overcrowded buildings. and
