FYI, they actually used 2 fire stations in Ghostusters:
The dinky little firestation (yes, it is a real one) that serves as HQ is 8 Hook and Ladder at 14 North Moore Street, off West Broadway in the Tribeca area. It's hard now to look at a New York firestation without a tinge of sadness and, indeed, 8 Hook and Ladder did lose one of its team in the 9/11 tragedy.
Ghostbusters location: The Ghostbusters firehouse interior: Firestation No.23, 225 East Fifth Street, downtown Los Angeles
While the New York location was a working firehouse, a decommissioned building was needed for interiors. This was found on the west coast, in downtown Los Angeles.
It‘s Firestation No. 23, 225 East Fifth Street, seen also in The Mask (as the garage where loser Stanley Ipkiss (Jim Carrey) picks up the loan car), in John Carpenter‘s Big Trouble in Little China and Joel Schumacher‘s Flatliners. Built 1910, the station has been closed since the sixties. Be aware that this isn’t the most salubrious area of town.
