Twenty-plus-unit buildings come first

In ZCTA 55305, 47% of housing units sit in buildings with twenty or more units, compared with 14% across Minnesota. Renter-occupied homes also make up a higher share than the state figure. In a large building, make the landlord or property manager your first conversation, before any provider call.

Questions to bring to that conversation:

• Does the building have a shared wiring or equipment room, and which companies have equipment in it?
• Have CenturyLink or Xfinity already set up service for other units on my floor?
• Where inside my unit is the connection point, and does it reach the room I plan to use?
• Does a technician need building access or an appointment through the management office?
• Are there lease rules about mounting equipment or drilling?

When you then check with each provider, use the building's street address plus your unit number, and ask the provider to confirm the result is for that unit.
