One hot water heater for 32 Units... enough?

I wish I posted here more... but I do spend a few minutes each night perusing.

Here’s what I’ve got:

Purchased a 32 unit former motel property that will now be 1/1 apartments. Kitchen sink, bathroom sink, tub/shower.

There is 1, (I believe) 100 gallon GAS hot water heater servicing the entire building. It was 50% occupied when I bought it 4 weeks ago, now 65% occupied and no HW complaints yet.

Is this one unit (probably) going to be enough to service 32 apartments?

If it isn’t, would using a HW storage tank connected to the heater be effective vs. adding/daisy chaining a second?

Thanks in advance!
