I love this. Brings back memories of when I was a kid when my father would take me to work with him in Manhattan. Around noon he'd go around midtown to visit his accounts and many of them had old Otis elevators in their buildings like this one (without the scratched-in graffiti, of course). Excellent video. Gold star. 🌟
It's had a partial modernisation but this is still a very scary lift - love the way the doors open in a "I don't really give a s**t" attitude style HAHA! Great lift.
Ive actually heard otis was the only company making automatic door elevators back in the 20s and they were the first company to develope automatic ones
That motor is almost as loud as lifts I went to in Glasgow over in Scotland. They were the first single door and single speed lifts I’ve ever been in. It had a nice loud motor (I think it was original from 1972, but I’m not sure)
Wow, that's a pretty run down place. Perfect for beno, great lift for him to play around with. Is that a wooden cab or does it only appear to look that way?
This is elevator needs fixtures improvement! I'm suggest you do this video... Pretty freighted me for that old elevator door open like killed elevator feed!... (Oh dear me, how startled me about this elevator!!!)

When you’re at the top floor in the elevator just starts up the sound the motor makes us just so beautiful
This is one of the best lifts in NYC!!
It's really sad to see this epic old lift in such a bad condition. You can tell how beautiful it once was just by looking at the cab
Nice phallus on the door. Makes me super confident on the safety of this elevator!
giving someone a Hard time...
I like the motor of that traction elevator. It is EPIC and so vintage.

Wow what a find!!!
I wonder if that freight elevator still works because it looks like its been deralict for quite a while
Gah you were here and you didn’t let us know! I’d love to film an elevator with you and discuss some stuff!
Epic traction motor startup!
You came to New York! :)
Grotty OTIS Elevator!
Motor sound !!!

I believe it is made of metal but i don't know for sure
Amazing motor!
Elevator is scary wheter this elevator closes or not?
The buttons seemed to have been modernized at a later time because they look in better shape than what other old elevator buttons look like
I didn't know elevators with automatic doors were produced back in 20's 😳
How old is the elevators🛗
when its moving it makes really funny noises
Did you get to ride the freight elevator? Also, is this an industrial building? That could partly explain why it is so run down looking.
Yeah, it looks like it is or was a Warehouse.
the whole damn building is grotty xD and was that a spark sound at 0:25?
Their commitment to NEVER cleaning anything in awesome, too.
The freight elevator looks older than this one
LIC is getting fancy now. They're getting rid of the old Warehouses.
I remember watching this
it did sounded like a spark
This elevator is sooo creepy
might have been a welder testing the fuse
Let's just call that the "Alley elevator"! 😂😂😂
This is elevator needs fixtures improvement! I'm suggest you do this video... Pretty freighted me for that old elevator door open like killed elevator feed!... (Oh dear me, how startled me about this elevator!!!)
Doesn't seem like a refurb but it definitely needs updating.
Wow I'm scared
Yes it is! 😱
That elevator could use a cleaning at least if not an interior makeover.
oh my god this elevator is too old
