At least the doors open inside :)
Pretty sure that violates at least one building code.
What country was this from?
I found it under a post where people were talking about living in NYC.
I’ve seen buildings like this in the West Village.
It’s absolutely against nyc fire codes
Surely built before NYC had fire codes. In that case, do some buildings with “historical value” somehow get grandfathered in?
Yeah, at least in most cases. They get labeled as “legal non-conforming” and usually are required to become conforming in the event there is any major reconstruction done to fix a casualty event.
Good luck, getting something like a couch in one of those apartments.
PIVOT!!!
Just have to coordinate with your neighbor and open both doors!
Yeah… it would be a nightmare. Maybe hauling stuff up to a balcony would work better.
The doors aren’t the same height. Is one of the doors a non-standard size?
There’s nothing “standard” about any of this.
