I'm thinking about buying a second floor condo in New Jersey. The building was built in 1920 as a factory and was then converted into apartment building in the late 90's or 2000. It's a pretty large building with 12 stories and more than 200 condo units. The ground floor has some condo units, common areas like gym, and a coffee shop. I heard that, in general, second floor condos tend to have more plumbing issues compared to condos on higher floor. For example, black water and sewage will come out from the toilet or sink when the main pipeline is clogged. I heard that it is because a lot of pipe lines are connected and passed through on the second floor. So when the lines are clogged, dirty water will backup into second floor condo units. Is this true? I'm really worried about that sewage might flood into my apartment and not sure if I still want to purchase this condo. Please advise.
Thank you.
Thank you.
