Pretty sure that violates at least one building code.

What country was this from?

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.

My first NYC apartment wasn't this tight, but it wasn't a shit ton different either.

Good luck, getting something like a couch in one of those apartments.

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.

At least reverse the doors so that it's easier to put keys in the locks.

You seem to apply logic in a place where logic has never been applied

Depending on how the rooms are set up other side of the door. This maybe the best way to maximize pathing through the door. Swinging it other way round would put hinges and door in the way of moving..... You know furniture and stuff like a dresser or couch.or fridge.

This way its almost a straight shot through the door with minimal obstructions.

Also the photo looks distorted. Like fisheyed... perspective may be a bit off here.

I’m trying to figure out if it’s photoshopped or a camera trick.

Looks like a Photoshop job though I could be wrong. The proportions and angles don't look real
