Warning… 1 in 5 NYC Garages Are Unsafe 

you cant run out of content in NYC 💀

For decades, NY is so absurdly expensive, where has all the money gone for repairs to everything? Everything place, all streets are crumbling 😮😢

NYC is pissed because San Fran is getting all the attention for shittiest city. NYC got game though.

Cash I just wanna give you acknowledgment on the amazing shift in content on your channel. I was watching you a couple years ago doing apartment viewings and now you’re doing reports like this. I love it thank you for all your hard work!!

You gotta give props to cash, he went from showing us cool apartments to investigative journalism. Way to adapt and overcome mate

I always thought that owning a car in NYC is insane. When my bother and sister-in-law visit, they stay in a hotel near the Newark Airport with parking included. It's a quick shuttle into NYC and using public transportation. I'm not surprised that these expensive to park garages are falling apart. They fit in with overpriced cockroach and rodent infested overpriced apartments. I remember an episode of the TV show, The Odd Couple, where Oscar and Felix win a car in a radio contest. After a few early mornings of reparking for alternate side of the street (only in NY) nonsense, they look into a garage. In considering that you have to think this is over 50 years ago, the best line comes when Oscar inquires about monthly parking in a garage and he's quoted $250. His question: "Does it come with a bedroom and a bath?"

I got my car broken into 3 times in 3 different neighborhoods with high car insurance high rental parking costs high taxes high crime high rent high ticketing rude drivers best thing I did was move out of New York!

7:56 "I can't even buy a chicken sandwich!" Everyone felt that.

It's almost like NYC is a crumbling shithole. But what would I know, I'm just a country bumpkin...

Salty cars dripping melted snow permeates the concrete and rusts the steele infastructure. We knew about this in the 70's and started using plastic coated rebar, in some cases this is worse as during construction if it is unnoticeably knicked it really deteriorates.

Better reporting than the news. Thanks!

Man new york sounds like a nightmare

Staying safe in New York means staying away from New York

I used to work part time waterproofing parking decks and garages, caulking. Look into all the cracks around all buildings, that are not being maintained, where water freely enters. Add salt from winter runoff and it's a recipe for disaster.

The good news is that a bunch of business is leaving NYC; that means less need for parking.

I’m not from New York but I watch all of your videos 😂. I wish they had a person like you in every city informing the residents.

BUT WE NEED $ FOR THE ASYLUM SEEKERS!!!!!

NYC infrastructure is minimum 120 years old. What could go wrong?

Bro you’ve been killing it with the diversification of your content. Keep it up

Well, I have had my own personal experience with these parking garages in Manhattan. It was in the 1990s. Most of them were already completely run down at that time. Every millimeter of space was occupied in order to earn as much money as possible. These guys who worked there used my car and squeezed it between other cars. If you wanted to pick up the car, you often had to wait a long time. As a photo reporter in a hurry, that alone was nerve-wracking. But the really scary thing was the sightings in the garages. Holes, really big holes in the ground that you could look through to the lower level. Stairwells where everything that was supposed to be solid was shaking. Water ran, the iron quickly rusted and peeled off. 'Looks dangerous' I said. I was told 'everything is safe. no danger.' End. Some people said to me: 'Don't go into these death traps'. Well, my car can no longer see the inside of the parking garage there. I park outside or take the subway. End. Down- and Midtown are the most expensive shitholes in the world. In my opinion. Sorry. And it's going worster and worster... refugees welcome... crime rate push new records...

NYC makes absolutely zero sense. They’re passing congestion pricing to promote mass transit usage without investing into the mass transit system in any meaningful way. Push an EV mandate, but apply congestion pricing, and not maintain spaces to park said EVs. I don’t get it. If the goal is to be greener then make pushes for mass transit and cycling infrastructure. Promote e-bike programs and other low impact transportation options. If you want cars then why allow your parking infrastructure to fall apart like this? I swear to god NYC literally just throws money away. I won’t even say it’s burning it because that would mean that it’s producing warmth and helping people.

NYC is going down the crapper. Unless you're making $300k+ I'd be outta there

In my time living in the city, there were several buildings that collapsed/exploded/burned. so it was a very real, non-zero chance that you could lose everything in an instant. of course, the chances are slim overall. but a more common situation was how one of my apts had a leak between the walls and mold started growing on the ceiling. of course the proper way would be to cut it open, dry it out, treat it, renew. they ended up just painting over it. that's when i realized that NYC as a whole is a bunch of bandaids to make it look good enough to pass inspection. underneath, it's all crumbling infrastructure.

Love that you are bringing attention to these issues~ People deserve better!!

That hole with the train tracks! The concrete looked like 3 inches!

This makes me think of when that high rise in Surfside, Florida collapsed.

It's not just garages. The bottom line is there are slum lords holding the city hostage with high rents for living space and car parking. Corruption is the price of doing business and payoffs are always included with city inspectors.

2:23 - 2:26 you can see the downward deflection of the structure immediately above the garage door on the right side. The 4 middle structural blocks appear to droop 1 or 2 inches below the rest which is absolutely an indication of a building in the process of a collapse

Best thing I did I repeat is move out of New York 5 years ago!!!

I like how everyday he tackles a new issue with production top notch

NYC is an old city, so old means high maintenance and more care and diligence required but when you have corruption, lazy inspection and not enough resources you have buildings that are just waiting to fall.

Every time there's flooding in NYC....the basement levels take more damage. Do you think they are replacing and repairing properly? How can they? There's no money.

OMG; did you see the parking rates? $183 per month to park a bicycle; almost cheaper just to buy a new bike from Walmart every day.

Hey Cash, you are good. You provide just the facts with supporting research. Man, this is how news used to be. You remind me of journalism back in the day!

What a nightmare scenario... imagine being in your car when crap starts crashing down

Just because they mandate only electric cars be sold new, that won't make all the old actual cars disappear, and you will likely have people holding on to their old cars for much longer so they don't have to buy electric ones.

EVERY building over 50 old in NYC is suspect. There aren't enough inspectors and most of the time the HPV only issue a warning letter to building owners. They never condemn a building until a disaster happens.

Love your deep insights into the City. You get right down to the nitty gritty of the reality of New York. Respect from here in the UK 👏

I think there is an important point missed in this video and that the NYC has absurd laws and permits for fixing or remodeling buildings. You cannot do anything without a permit and sometimes it takes years to get one so most people do it either in secret by unprofessional workers or don't do it at all in fear that their business will need to close for undetermined about of time until they get the permit and fix the property.

I live in Pittsburgh and I know more about NYC because of these videos! I love it!!

did you see the prices??? This is ridiculous. bicycles 183.70 per month /CAR Daily rates 1/2 hour 12.67 / 24 Hour Monthly = 700 Dollars / PLUS 18% Parking Tax / Probably add sales tax on top of that................WOW WOW WOW

Cash, your channel is the best. The topics are always interesting and relevant. Keep up the great work. I'm going to continuing binging now.

Everything in New York looks worn out stinky smelly and sticky. That includes a lot of the people.

Ha Jordan. I think its absolutely great how you put your script, and video together. They really keep me watching, while being loaded with informed, and amused by how you keep changing the scenes, and pointing out the facts. Great Job!

Chicago has a dangerous bridge problem. Concrete and steel dont last forever, especially when you stop painting them every other year

Well done CJ great reporting.

could you imagine if I had to pay congestion pricing for my car to be destroyed in a garage? NYC sucks

Awesome video, very informative ! 😊

Cash : ny is great Also cash : ny is shit.😅😅😅

Cash- Every moment was an exceptional experience. Great mini-Documentary. 👍👍👍👍 Congratulations reaching 800k+. ☮️👏👏👏👏👏

What happens when you add all those Teslas in there?

Cash! You are such an amazing reporter! Great job! ❤❤

The powers that be will not fix the "need to fix" until collapse .

Cash, i always look forward to your content, you are awesome!

The EV's are 1 reason why.. These old parking structures can't handle the weight of EV

Great video Cash! Here by Charleston, SC, there was a bridge that was fairly newer that had to be repaired because there were cracks in it. Now I’m going to research how often the parking garages in Charleston are inspected 😅. Thankfully they don’t charge as much for parking as NYC. I would be angry to pay that much money for parking then have my vehicle get crushed by a garage that collapsed. But everything in NYC is built on top of each. In Charleston, the city is also very old but the buildings can’t be taller than the highest church steeple where the nickname The Holy City came from. If a garage here collapses, there usually isn’t anything else under or above the structure.

great job cash, very interesting. i like the videos about nyc.😁

As if people in NYC have enough to be concerned about now they have to worry about parking garages collapsing, it makes me wonder what else could go wrong?

Wow crazy. I never feel safe at any garages. New York got lots of problems.

Very informative video Cash, ty and you are appreciated 😊❤

The fact that a lot of the structures in NYC are old is a big part of this issue, but that is also true in other places as well. But NYC has massive regulation, massive government bloat, and very high taxes. So NYC itself has mismanaged its own building inspection program. I grew up in NJ a few miles from NYC and in my opinion NYC government has been, and continues to be, more concerned about revenue generation and keeping and enlarging a bloated wasteful government, which acts like a jobs program, than actually caring about the people that live, work, and visit the city. They even make renovations and repairs over expensive with fees and time limits which acts as a negative influence on businesses and owners repairing upgrading buildings. So in the end they now have to shut buildings down, because they loosely and inadequately enforced the law for many decades. Where does all the money NYC take in as revenue go? obviously not in to the basic necessities the city needs, like building inspection and other things like the police.

Best investigative reporting ever. I live nowhere near NY but it's interesting to watch your videos and know I'm getting solid information. I wish you reported on other states! For these garages it seems like they could implement a computerized system that would detect when a vehicle enters and when one exits to keep track of the occupancy so these places couldn't go over the limit. Like the enter gate is automatically locked once they've reached capacity and doesn't reopen until a vehicle leaves.

I cant afford a chicken sandwich 😂 so base ! I love this guy.

There is no one reporting on NYC problems like you do. Thank you so much!

Now that EVs are becoming more common these older garages aren't capable of handling the extra weight.

I ❤ how your channel has come along. Keep up the great work. I'm not from NY but I appreciate the city even more. Hey from Chicago ❤

Damn! $700 if you have an exotic car to park in that one garage for a month! Holy smokes! And it was a run down looking garage at that ha. Crazy insane or insane crazy?

@CashJorden your videos have gotten so darn good lately… as a former resident of the lower east side (now living in Florida) please keep the updates coming brother! The slow decline of the city is being documented by YOU. Kudos 😊

Why, no maintenance and they are open to the elements. These garages may not be next to the ocean like in Florida, but in the Northeast, salt is used heavily in the winter. Unmaintained concrete rebar building are subject to the salt water intrusion.

💛💛💛 Love your investigative reporting! Keep up the good work! DD☮️

I like your editing style... It reminds me of Casey Neistat's style but with important news instead of product reviews.. keep up the good work Cash Jordan

Love You Cash Jordan!!!! You’re Amazing and do not stop giving us the Real News!!! 💕💕💕🙏

Keep up the good work! I get mucho more detailed information about the city than in the news

I just love the intro of cash staring into the garage, then the cut to the news, seriously, this is good editing.

Most buildings in new york or super old at least 80 years plus

Great video. You’re videos are so honest. Shows it like it is. Better than most professional news casts out there! I mean it. You do a better job! 👍👍👍👏👏👏

That map has the measles.

you made some very solid points to bring back the mini truck!

2:56 You'd thing with prices like that they could affoard to rebuild the garage every other year

Your voice and inflection and prosody are just perfect for RU-vid 😊

NYC construction workers back in the day -rush this shit build it and let’s get out of here NYC now-why is everything coming apart 🤔🧐

Excellent reporting!

Another smooth/ powerful report, thank you

2:56 The prices to park in that garage that is unsafe are insanely expensive!! $12.69 to park a standard car for 30 minutes or less + a mandatory 18.37% parking tax, and $67.59 to park an SUV for 24 hours, also + the 18.37% parking tax? Gimme a freakin' break.

No way would I live in NY city.

Nice informative video Buddy, keep doing such.............All the best✌✌✌

Old car parks are not designed to take the weight of heavy electric cars.

And electric cars weigh a LOT more, so these problems only get worse as everyone switches.

NYC just casually being a dumpster fire

Great Video Cash! Keep them coming!

We in Sweden 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪 love that hat you are always wearing !!🙏🏻❤️❤️🙏🏻

Love the information 🙏😇♥️

Love your vids 👍🏼

I love this guy’s videos, got me thinking about stuff I never even think about.

Always really good videos!

Excellent reporting, Cash!!

Falling apart like Detroit!

3:35 is why I watch. Thank you for clarifying how something can be considered “unsafe”. Thanks for covering the whole story and not just bias.

You should use your own work more often for thumbnails. Your camera work is good.

Love your videos. Informative, entertaining. Thanks!
