There is normally one main valve where the service enters the basement, plus a separate valve on each unit's branch near the ceiling. Older conversions often skipped the second set, which means shutting one apartment down shuts both. Finding out which you have is worth doing before December, when the average low here is 32F.

The insulation around any shared run, the valves on each unit's branch, and whatever heat source keeps the common hallway above freezing. January averages a low of 27F here, and the hallway is usually the coldest heated space in the building.

The lateral from the building to the main is normally the property owner's responsibility, and in a divided building that means one line serving several units with a single owner behind it. Where the town owns the portion under the street varies, so ask before digging.

It complicates billing more than plumbing, but it does hide leaks. With one meter serving two units nobody sees a change in usage when a supply line starts weeping inside a party wall, and the first sign is often a stain rather than a bill.
