Actually, to be honest, this is a fair warning to all of us to check our homes. We often forget.
When buying in a block, verify that there is sufficient insulation on all pipes, not just in your apartment but for the whole building. Also check what happens if a crisis occurs.
For home owners who live here be they individuals or in an apartment block, keep looking at pipes, the roof, etc.
Basically, the same as you would do anywhere. Be vigilent to prevent damage :)
