This fallout shelter is behind a locked steel door on the east end of a high-rise apartment building in midtown Manhattan. This suggests it may have been constructed for the benefit of the reidents of the building. This was a common practice in New York City during the cold war. The standard fallout shelter sign is high above the door and the capacity is not listed.
Capacity of shelter: 0

Radiation monitoring equipment: Not Listed
