The main purpose was to meet the minimum standards for Plumbing and ventilation in apartment buildings. The 1879 Tenement Act in NY required that all inhabitable rooms (living rooms, restrooms, have windows that could open up on plain air, thus airshafts and narrow alleys were created between buildings.
An excellent example of this type of structure can be seen on Broome St. between Ludlow and Orchard Streets, in Manhattan on the lower east side (very near New York Tenement Museum).

The State of New York outlawed the dumbbell shaped tenement buildings in 1901. The New York State Tenement House Act of 1901 banned the poorly lit and poorly ventilated buildings.

Life in a tenement was not good. It was really small and crowded. There usually was many immigrant families living in one tenement apartment. There was no plumbing. You had to get water from a faucet on the main floor of the tenement and bring it back up to your apartment. If you had to go to the bathroom there was a bucket for the whole tenement and when it was full someone had to bring it out to the street and dump it.

Cooperatives are not associated with tenement living.
Tenement districts in the 1830s and 1840s were overcrowded, poorly ventilated, and lacked basic sanitation facilities. Many tenement buildings were poorly constructed and lacked proper maintenance. Cities faced major problems such as inadequate housing regulations, poor public health conditions, and a lack of urban planning to address the rapid population growth during this period.
