Same here. I refuse to live & even work in a high-rise For that reason- they are firetraps. What will you do? Run outside on the 20th floor? Right now I live on the second floor apartment and I do worry because the landlord will not fix anything. I have 3 outlets that are not working. I also know a few of my neighbors outlets do not work. So that has been in back of my mind.

This may be a good investment.
