Not quite “in the area,” per se, but Advanced Mansfield Dental has been great with me. Nobody likes having dental work done, and they make me feel as if I have a caring mother looking after me. Dr. Brown over there has been great in also explaining the how’s and why’s and is very patient with any questions and is always doing comfort checks vs. charging headfirst into a sensitive situation.
Their office is clean, new, and confidence inspiring. Highly recommend.

All? You must have just been super lucky. (Not so lucky if fire gets in there).
But thanks for reminding us: It is worth using a phone to take pics upward from the foundation sill in hope of finding a convenient stud bay that is not blocked like they usually are.

I'm talking first hand, balloon framed houses all over Providence from the mid-19th century on. Older houses I see are post and beam. I don't always have to get in a wall for what I do, but I can't remember anytime not running into blocking, a masonry fire stop, or a timber on an old house. I think maybe you are PFD? Maybe you've seen something I haven't, but I've seen shit tons of walls in local houses.

Better than the exit in Warwick that has no merge and a full on stop, so you have to gun it to get on the highway and not die. This exit is not that bad.

I agree. Having your own lane it's totally fine. It can get a bit hairy merging away from the 146 exit in heavier traffic but this doesn't make it worse. It's always been like that.

I can tell you first hand that much of the housing stock in Providence predates that and was never updated.

Wrong. Even if the house doesn't have blown in cellulose after an energy audit, every floor will have wooden blocking and sometimes masonry fire barriers. It's never a straight shot.

Yes, this is the answer. Don't need a licensed electrician to run a low voltage cable

If it's balloon frame like many of the 2.5/3 story buildings in this city are you don't need access to the first floor at all the stud bays run from the basement to the attic.

DIY makes sense if you can scout a route for the cable alongside plumbing or a chimney (look down from the attic) that will not require opening a wall in the first floor unit - unless your DIY skill set includes cutting and patching the holes super neat and quick.
If landlord and first floor tenant agree, tacking an ethernet cable in an inconspicuous corner of a closet may be the solution.
Otherwise its a job for a pro.

Got a coax run? I assume not or you’d move the modem up from the basement. But if you do, MoCa adapters are great for doing Ethernet over coax.
Powerline Ethernet also exists, might be a viable option here.

It didn't stop there though. The poster was actively looking for a solution. And the consensus on advice was that the cops would be involved. Also, we have no idea what was up with this person. They could be on drugs or have a knife because they're suicidal. Not enough info.

Many have had fire stops put in during renovations, the multifamily I own drilling through the masonry was quite a bitch to run a new wire. Not that uncommon to be able to shine a flashlight up from the basement to the attic though. It sounds like you are a tradesman so I'm sure you've seen lots of walls but a lot of the multi-families I've gone into are basically maintained only to the point of passing section 8 standards and the slumlord landlords don't hire proper pros when doing work.
