Curious if anybody would know what the standard floor joist dimensions might be in a Washington Heights 1922 5 floor walkup at 550 Fort Washington Ave. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

Depends on the width of the house. Usually 3"x10". People usually replace these by LVL beams which a structural engineer will specify.
