No. I live in an apartment. A few months ago they replaced my old, normal one with a "tankless" one.
The only problem is it fails in colder weather. Maintenace turned off its power and turned it back on, and that seemed to work.
So when it fails in winter, I go to the power switchbox and turn off the power and turn it back on. This seems to start some startup activity that makes a lot of noise and yields hot water.

@JoyfulSilence That’s a pain, but as long as it works...

@marsbar The one benefit is since it is tankless, it is supposed to yield hot water indefinitely. So once it gets going, I can take long showers and never drain the tank, so to speak. It is like living in a hotel. Endless hot water.
