The two conditions that contributed to the spread of disease and illness throughout tenements are:

1. **Improper sanitation** - Poor waste disposal and inadequate sanitation facilities led to unsanitary living conditions, which facilitated the spread of diseases.

2. **Lack of air circulation** - Tenements were often overcrowded and poorly ventilated, which allowed airborne diseases to spread more easily among residents.

Both factors significantly impacted the health and well-being of those living in such environments.
