When you say 'multi-family home' do you mean a single house with lots of families sharing a kitchen and things?

Or do you mean like a terrace home? Like a town-house? Those are super common in many places and it doesn't cause any of the problems you're imagining in my experience.

My house shares one wall with another family. Not sure how you'd tell or what impact you think it'd have. I still have power tools in my garage.
