I used Google maps to get a street view of this place.

One thing I noticed right away as a native NYer was that all adjoining buildings had fire escapes.

Six story buildings. Taller buildings have elevators and “fire stairs” that are separated from hallways by masonry walls and at least one fire door.

Fire codes, especially for multiple dwelling buildings over six stories, are mountainous.

Fire escapes were banned in new building construction in the late 60's.
