A multi-occupier building has, in a communal service cupboard, a

Entering that plug are two different leads connected to two
different items of low-power fixed communal equipment (it is
not easy to see what each of those actually does - or did.

How should that setup be described, on a scale running from
entirely satisfactory to absolutely illegal?

I expect the person who did it didn't have an extra plug and two way
adapter, or the ability to get them.

Not convinced a two way adaptor is as safe - especially for something that
is normally left plugged in.
