It's common for residents of small apartment buildings in New York to store some of their stuff in the hallway. My neighbor stores his bike against the railing in the hallway between our door and the stairs upstairs, and it's not a nuisance to us or the people in apartment 3. Sometimes, you don't have enough space to put everything, especially things that are meant to be stored outside, in your apartment, so you have to get a little creative. Your bike is a lot less likely to get stolen from inside your building than it is outside of it.
I would definitely feel a different kind of way if my neighbor's bike was constantly leaning against my door. There's a big difference between something you have to squeeze by when you're going to the roof and a safety hazard that is totally unnecessary. After all, there are ways to store bikes inside of a small apartment.
