Sounds like your condo may not have properly grounded power, some of mine flicker for that same reason. Have you tried CFLs? Not as nice light but it might solve your issue.

Yeah, those worked fine, but all the stores around me stopped selling them. I can only get LEDs, or I can get decorative style incandescents, so I've been buying the latter.

CFLs will be banned by 2024, however. Keep that in mind.
