Residents of high-rise building in sections of Pipeline estate have become used to challenges such as poor lighting. Irene Wairimu says most residents prefer renting houses on the third floor and above because the lower floors have no natural lighting.

"I live on the seventh floor because most of the houses on the ground floors are too dark. One is forced to live with the lights on and this means high electricity bills," said Ms Wairimu.
