I was trying to find details on that building and found this:

It’s the building on the left to the cleaners. I’m trying to figure out how that becomes a 19 story building. May do a drive by on my next trip.
There’s a “Word Yoga Community” at that address.
Only a RE agent or management would know the mother passed away. This had to be an inside job letting the squatters in.
Just found it’s a “T” shaped property. There has to be another entrance on Third avenue.
