Question

Which is preferable: to place the chanukiah in the window on the 8th floor (there are apartments opposite), or at the entrance of the building, or at the doorway in the stairwell (4 tenants on the floor)?

Answer

Shalom u-vracha

He should light in the window of the house. And it is good to place near them colorful lights that attract the eye, and in this way the lighting is noticeable even above 20 amot.
