for much of new york history there are no housing codes. the main thing that dictated the shape and size of new york houses was the shape of the lot which was typically 25' x 100' which creates a very narrow type of building and the height of the buildings was dictated mostly by how much the walls could hold before the building would collapse and that is if you look at the buildings around here it is rare they are 6 stories because that seem to be as much as people imagined you could build them before they might topple over onto the building next to them. starting in the late 19th century housing codes developed and start to put in restrictions. in some ways, reformers believe that through legislation they can make immigrants lives better. and so laws are put in place that for instance will limit the number of people who can occupy a single apartment but those laws are typically flouted. that photograph of immigrant life in new york around 1890, when you go on inspection tours with the health police and find these overcrowded buildings. and
