Sometimes?

"Based on records of buildings with Otis brand elevators, as many as 85 percent of the high rises in the world don't have a 13th floor, says Dilip Rangnekar, spokesman for the Farmington, CT-based elevator maker." - http://realtytimes.com/todaysheadlines1/item/15685-20020913_...

Superstitions are alive and well around the world. In the U.S., the number of people who still turn to astrology when it comes explaining success or failure in dating and relationships will astound you. Even in places like New York City.

In reply to tsotha, 1801 Century Park East, Los Angeles, CA 90067 is an example. At least it was when I worked there after law school (ahem some time ago).
I'm sort of curious as to where these buildings are. I've never seen one on the US west coast.
