There were at least 2 murders and 1 attempted murder during the time I stayed at Morningside Inn, in New York City - when I went to Columbia University.

1 murder was committed by a Trevor Frederick.
Additionally, a woman there was stabbed in the throat and a guy was thrown out of a 5th floor window on a Saturday night.
Drug use was rampant in the building also, and you definitely didn't want to make eye contact with anyone you saw consuming narcotics in that building. They would react unpredictably.
