Amazing story, squatters in a “luxury” building allegedly murdered the owner who returned after the unit had been vacant for months. Incredible that these squatters lived in the building for some time and apparently no one had any clue. Does this now define “luxury” in Manhatten? https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/woman-killed-in-nyc-by-squatters-stuffed-in-duffle-bag-sources-say/

Somebody on youtube said this is a non doorman building.

It's not a "luxury" building, it's housing for low-income seniors. (A NYC Department for the Aging brochure calls it project-based Section 8 housing; another source I saw calls it Section 202 Supportive housing ...but anyway, that explains why the address doesn't show up in StreetEasy.)

The bigger mystery is how the squatters got a key to the elevator.
