I was a broker on a new condo project.....and you could custom design the condo...many many choices..
the outside looked the same but the insides were unique.... luxury condos ..
anyways.... I owned one and not only did I show prospective buyers mine but asked others if they could see theres...and no one seemed to have a problem with it
you can always ask …..
but to demand to see the actual plans??? id think you were a little squirrely ..
legal to get them how? If you are obtaining them from a publicly accessible source - builder plans online or maybe a city department maintains plans that are publicly available etc. then sure, it's legal. If you are trying to get them from a non-public source and this is not something that would be available to the public in your area, then probably not legal to get them.
And of course, the question why you'd want them is an issue. If it's something like you saw the interior of the other unit and wanted to do something to yours that you saw in there, then you could ask your neighbor if you could have a copy, I suppose.
OP, are you planning to heist them? If so, in addition to the floor plan, pose also as a security surveillance sales rep. Ask if they have any existing security surveillance. If none, proceed with asking if you can present to them and asking "pertinent" intel, I mean questions, about how many people there are in the household, what time they are usually most vulnerable to a breach, etc. Good luck!
I can't get past wondering why you would care? It seems awfully snoopy to me, and for no reason.
It may affect how they want to setup or orient their place or affect a remodel or work they need to do. If there's already plumbing for something on the north side of the building it may make it easier.

I think there's good reasons for wondering, as different rooms make different noises and it might be good to know if the neighbor has their big screen TV and surround sound system with a subwoofer on the shared wall with your bedroom. Or... vice versa. A little foreknowledge might prevent a lot of problems!
