I actually lived in this building almost 2 years ago with my husband - I can assure you we never even had a clue that it was an illegal building- our landlord basically rented the entire floor for a 10 year lease and then sublet the spaces out and we were never under the impression there was anything wrong - and they were the kindest people, I doubt they did either. Every single apartment (I would say probably 60 in total) was a residence. Some were used for a studio as well, but the majority were people's primary homes.Some of these people had lived there for over a decade!

I lived on the penthouse floor and I just can't imagine what some of these people are doing right now - especially the disabled women who lived across the hall from me. I really hope they all found a place to stay.

its too bad - some of these lofts were beautiful and people put alot of time into making them their own space- especially the ones living there for 10 years. I'm glad I got out when I did, I had a funny feeling about the building - in particular the overhead management. After a while I had a feeling that the residents in the building weren't the primary care of the management and that they had other things going on. There was a loading dock in the back of the building.....I guess that should have tipped us off.
