Don't these usually last for a month or even less? Does it make sense to map such temporary biz?

Hello.
Could you please elaborate what is that pickle ball court you mapped? It doesn't match any of the available satellite imagery. It looks like there's a building there.

OSM must NOT be used for SEO shenanigans. It is about accuracy of data.
This business is called Arlo Hotels. Your own account is called Arlo Hotels, not Arlo Williamsburg.
Williamsburg is just a single location of this business. As such the location description is encoded in branch= tag.

And it still doesn't explain why you deleted a valid wikidata tag...

I see what you mean. But in addition to just mapping the curb you should've also mapped the driveway way as well. And position the curb where it is actually is, and not on the sidewalk..

Also please note that you can NOT use Google Maps or Streetview to map in OSM under any circumstances. It is a copyright violation and a violation of TOS between you and OSM, and you and Google. Any changes based on Google's imagery will be reverted outright.

Most of the time if businesses change, they change phone numbers. Leaving old phone numbers, especially for medical offices is potentially dangerous.

Hello.
Could you please elaborate why did you draw another building on top of an existing one in Gerritsen Beach?
Also Harbor Fitness in Mill Basin should've been mapped as a node/POI rather than another building on top of existing one.

Hello.
You updated Investors Bank into Citizens Bank, but kept the same phone number. Is that accurate?
Similar with the 2 medical offices, their names changes but phone numbers remained the same?

Hello.
This is not a correct way to map bike lanes.
That information is already mapped using tags on the street itself.

Hello.
Please note that it's very important to accurately and correctly tag crosswalks if they are controlled by traffic lights or stop signs.
Additionally, it is important to connect crosswalks to their intersecting streets to be able to create a complete and accurate routing map.

Hello.
Could you please elaborate why did you delete wikidata tag? It is a valid tag that links to this feature.
The hotel's name is Arlo. Williamsburg is the location description and as such it goes into the branch= tag. Why did you delete it?

Hello.
What is the meaning of addr:unit="30th St"? Suite 30? 30th Floor? 30th Street?
What is "St" in opening_hours= tag?
As clearly documented in description=* the description= tag must NEVER be used for any type of advertising or promotional messaging. It must be neutral tone informational text.
As documented in phone=*#Usage the phone= tag must include country code(in US it's +1) and phone number must be separated only by space or dash, not ( ).

You updated name:en= but didn't update name= tag.

Hello.
When mapping sidewalks please try to map them as individual ways for each street rather than a single looop around the whole block.
Mapping them as individual ways makes it easier to tag each sidewalk to that street's condition, such as surface, lit, width, etc.

Hello.
When mapping crosswalks it's important to properly connect them to the intersecting roads, otherwise navigation/routing would be incomplete.
Additionally, it's important to accurately tag crosswalks that are controlled by traffic lights vs the ones with just stop lights.
You can often spot traffic lights as diagonal gantry sticking out into the middle of an intersection, such as on 15th Ave and 40th St.

Hello.
I'm glad you replied and we can resolve this.
I'm not familiar with Organic Maps on iPhone but on Android it shouldn't be making such changes on its own.
Organic Maps is a great maps app, but just barely passable at editing.
If you are interested in adding biz and other POI, might I recommend EveryDoor app. It's specifically designed for that purpose.
If you are interested in more general editing beyond just POIs, I suggest you take a look at Go Map!! app.
Both of these apps are free. They have a bit of a learning curve, but that comes with the territory as nuanced as editing a map of the world.
If you have any more questions feel free to ask. ๐Ÿ‘
