You know, this depends upon whether there is an ongoing problem with crime in the building. As you said, crime doesn't have a zip code and this particular crime may be a one of occurrence. If this seems to be a good building and there are no problems otherwise, I'd have no problem moving in. I'll tell you why, I live in a highrise building that had a horrible murder in it, just before I moved in (about 6 or 7 months before) in an apartment about 3 floors below where I now live. It was a weird, random murder. But I've been here about 7 years now and nothing else has happened since. Sometimes terrible stuff happens. Don't dwell upon it or you'll make yourself paranoid. The crime was a tragedy, but you will likely have a good life there. If, after 6 months you still don't feel comfortable, then you can start shopping around for a new place and make arrangements to move when your lease is up.

440 does not come to the breaker box. It's 220-230. The voltage can go anywhere between these two numbers,and be all right. For standard receptacle's they are 120 to 130. Usually a voltmeter will read 125 volts. You will have 220 for electric range and clothes dryer. Also for water heater in most places.

It depends on which country you are living in now.
Most electrical voltages are 100-120 V at 60 Hz, 100-120V at 50 Hz and 220-240 V at 50 Hz. Some plugs on the appliance will show the voltage requirement of the appliance. Use transformer if necessary.

120 volts
240 volts
and for a large air conditioning unit or various other things 480 volts may be required.

although sometimes three phase power may be required for some reason which would require 3 transformers connected in a wye-wye connection and opening the top and splitting the leads from A-C & B-D to AB & CD, yielding the voltages 120/240/208

In the U.S........

Most outlets will be 110V/115V/120V. I put it that way because the voltage isn't always exact, but it will be in that range, and different people/companies have different preferences for reporting it.

After that, there is double that voltage. So for water heaters, ovens, and other appliances that use a large amount of power, the voltage range will be 220V/230V/240V.

Then, you have doorbells, thermostats, and the like. These are stepped down with transformers to usually 12volts, sometimes 12V DC.

Actually, 110vac-120vac~60hz is what's suppose to be delivered for general use. 220vac is mostly dryer and range outlets, However in my experience, and depending on where you live the voltages can dip below 100vac(brown out) and spike to an excess of 130vac because of poor tranformer conditioning by the power company, I would suggest surge protection for all your electronics, and power conditioners for your expensive electronic devices. And phone lines are -48vdc...

In the USA the voltages are:
120v - lights, TV's, hair dryers
240v - baseboard heaters, stoves, ovens, clothes dryers
440v to the transformer

This transformer is tapped to produce 240v between phases and 120v to neutral (&ground).

In Canada the voltages are:
120v - lights, TV's, hair dryers
240v - baseboard heaters, stoves, ovens, clothes dryers
600v to the transformer

This transformer is tapped to produce 208v between phases and 120v to neutral (&ground).

In Canada, the wire size is significantly reduced to feed transformers because the line voltage is 600v, saving millions annually.

Best answer!

normal outlets are 110~120 for large apliances ther may be a 220 pwer supply other than that i dont know

In what country?
The question, as written, does not permit of a simple answer.
