1. Very smelly. Doesn't seem like a good project for a flat. I dare say your neighbors might agree with me. Can't you use solar power? If enough roof is available you should be able to produce several kilowatts for a period.
2. The first thing that comes to mind about such a venture is running the generator in an enclosed space ie the flat.You would need to vent the exhaust gasses to atmosphere and secondly, even a super silent model would surely annoy the other tenants being operated in an enclosed area. If the power cuts are so frequent complain to your provider to investigate the source.
3. Forget diesel. I have a large house .5 mile from the next. Now and again the power will go off. I have a small 4.5kva petrol generator that runs most of the things in the house. The problem is that lots of the things you have will run fine, ie tv, lights, fridge, computer, heating system (gas) not the immersion heater if you have one, but the moment you switch on the cooker or kettle thing will go wrong. Heating stuff up uses lots of power. If i want to boil the kettle i have to switch off most of the other stuff so that the generator does not trip out. You could get round this by getting a large generator but that's not so good for a flat. You should also remember that they make a lot of noise, petrol or diesel. Also remember if you plug one into your mains, TURN OFF THE MAINS POWER ON YOUR FUSE BOARD but leave the trips on. The moment you try to power the rest of the street with the new generator will be the last time it works. Done That !! When you plug it into a plug socket it will back feed the board and so the rest of the house. Keep in mind that when you do this the house is being run on a small, thin cable from the generator!! Best of luck.
