When I worked in Calgary, weeping tile was kind of a selective thing, based on soil conditions. So, you might have it and your neighbor not, another way for builders to cut costs. Going through a wet cycle now, so things that previously were not a problem, are now major issues. No doubt, exterior is the way to go, but interior is sometimes the only option. Hopefully the basement is undeveloped, gotta cut the concrete out, install drain, washed rock and re concrete. Gonna be a major disruption in your life.
