    Irrespective of who owns what, this sounds scary.  I’m not an electrician, but worrywort needs the services of one for his/her immediate problem.  The solution may include upgrading the apartment’s wiring, with adequate circuits to provide for an array of electrical gear never imagined when the block was built, and a modern board with circuit breakers.  Further ‘upstream’, the whole building may need to have its wiring renewed to a similar standard.  Let’s hope the sinking fund is in sound shape.
