New York, This is a squatter’s bedroom. Many New York squatters have drug or alcohol problems and also may be suffering from mental illness, which in part explains living conditions like this.

New York, Very often squatters block off windows to hide the fact that the building is occupied, they are also likely to not take their own garbage out, which tends to encourage insect and rodent infestations.

New York, Normally abandoned buildings have no utility service so urine jugs serve as the bathroom; electricity may be stolen from a nearby building by using extension cords.
