Apartment Buildings Blues - 4.25.2004
The Apartment Building is an NYC rarity. It's not too hard to find factories that have been abandoned, but in a city where housing is of short supply and real estate valued higher than your mom in the 60's, finding a location like this is by no means an easy task. So far as I know, this is the only 100+ unit apartment building in the city to be left in this sad twisted state. it has been abandoned for nearly 10 years, yet it remains fairly well intact to the untrained eye. If you come around back though, you'll start to get some idea what is up... and once inside, the shock of the size of this discovery comes into play.

Beware of Pit Bulls.


Isnide the apartments, you'll find a varying degree of leftovers.


Food still in the cabinet, Kitchen Sink Gone.


Junkie Life: Stinking used needles in the wall




The Purple Apartment


This hallway still had it's lights on. You find yourself standing here thinking about how utterly normal the place looks and how there ought to be people behind every door... but there are not...


Out the window, looking across at the other wing...


One of the bigger apartments.


"John Doe" Eviction notices.


The filthy stairs, coated in paint chips, porn and dead pigeons.
