For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

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.
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.
I’ve seen buildings like this in the West Village.
