Thank you, thank you Buffalobill.

That's just what I needed, That low density, slow drying, foam.... The
regular foam would blow my drywall off...

Now all I need is to find out if I do put it in MY walls... would it
sink all the way down to the unit downstairs? Typically would there be a
stud? / barrier? in the exterior walls? to catch the foam and keep it in
my walls at my level....

Thanks again BB....

Typically, in a condo, you only own or control the wall as deep as the
back side of the drywall. The building shell is considered common area,
and any changes must be run through the board, and any work has to be
done by one of their 'approved' contractors.

I personally could never live like that- may as well rent an apartment,
IMHO- but I understand why they set it up like that, so a clueless DIY
can't trash the building for the other tenants.

OP should definitely check his deed and the association rules before he
opens things up.

May wanna check with the neighbors- if the whole building was improperly
insulated, getting it done as a mass upgrade through the association
might bring the per-unit cost down.

We already answered that. No it won't, and there are firestops in your
walls.

True, the old balloon framing did not.
