- ashark 10y agoDepends on what it's communicating. If there are other, non-secret apartments then the comma should probably be omitted, yeah. If these are both the last apartments (without further qualification) and secret, then the comma's good.
- strictnein 10y agoThey're not though. No one has lived in these since 2006, but there are actually others, still in good shape. https://www.6sqft.com/life-behind-the-stacks-the-secret-apartments-of-new-york-libraries/ https://www.6sqft.com/life-behind-the-stacks-the-secret-apar...
- maxerickson 10y agoYeah, the apartments aren't secret either. They are maybe little known, but the people living in them, as the article mentions, regularly invited others in for things like parties.
- jcoffland 10y agoThe article uses a lot of over obvious tricks to try to grab your attention like associating the paint with dandruff and then shortly after with sloughed off skin and referring to the dumb waiter shaft as a death chute, which as far as I can tell has no historical basis.
