Well, you suggested me household and since English is not my first language I thought that that was the correct word, but it isn't.

House in Spanish for example can mean a building, or an apartment, and I thought it also did in English, but after searching for a bit, for building it can't be used as apartment. In any case, in the way OP used the word it's clear to me that they mean that all the windows are of the same owner/big apartment, instead of being apartments of separate owners. Have a nice day.

(BTW, unless Cambridge is wrong house can also be used as household: (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/house: all the people living in a house)

People also thought that Russia wouldn't invade Ukraine, because it was clear to them. Either write what you mean or don't act surprised if people take what you said at face value...
