Photo: Condemned Bronx Apartment Fire Escape “Balcony”

I grew up in the Bronx and spent much of my childhood in these, so it was pleasantly nostalgic while “urban exploring” this abandoned building in the NYC.

“New York City fire escapes, the clunky metal accessories to buildings constructed in response to industrial building-code reform, have become an iconic part of the urban landscape. They serve purposes as numerous as their pop-cultural cameos. Part emergency exit, part makeshift patio, the fire escape has played an integral role in shaping the development of the cities whose buildings bear them.” –Excerpt
