But… in order to get to the trash chute one would have to venture into the service area where the little people are; why would one do that?
The floor plan in the video looks like it’s been lifted from some real estate website or other like
https://www.cityrealty.com/nyc/midtown-east/432-park-avenue/54898
and doesn’t give much detail.
I don’t know anything about NYC building codes but I do know that there are codes in other places that say trash chutes are right out because of fire safety. What I’d like to know is how they solved1) this. Assuming the building is up to code. Given how many really tall buildings NYC has I ass u me that a) trash chutes are a thing and b) there are regulations to prevent scenarios like, say there is a trash fire at the bottom of the shaft and fire smoke gets into every floor.
If I can be asked to look further into this I might post something in the buildings thread at some point.
1) There is always a technical solution to a technical problem. When you have the budget.
