  Is it more common in some areas vs others? I’ve never heard the term used in real life, but I understood it from context.

    I don’t know but I am from NYC. I only heard the term used there.

      Makes sense. I haven’t seen an apartment with an elevator in quite a while, so perhaps the distinction just doesn’t matter here. Most apartment complexes here are 3 floors or less, and I think there’s a cap at 5 floors or something for regular construction because the only ones bigger than that are the massive towers downtown.

  So the entire complex is named that or just the stairwell?

    The building. A fifth floor walk up is very different than a fifth floor apartment with an elevator.

    Stairs are just stairs.
