I'm looking at the entry for the building I live in, and now I see that the additional height entries seem to be for when facade inspection or other work was being done on the exterior or on the roof. Total height remains at the top of the water tank.

On the search page, there are heights listed, but like 12 of them.

How do I get from searching there to finding a building height? I click on the various links, and I don't see it.

Also, not sure whether my suggested tweak to the Cathedral outline is needed or not, if it would conflict with the shape in the city database?

If I remember correctly, I tried looking it up, but whatever city website I consulted didn't have the height of the new building. I don't recall whether the BIN I saw was the same as the old or not.

Thanks for the tip. I'll look into it. What I have been doing is taking a lot of pictures while I am out walking or skating in the neighborhood, then sitting down at the computer later and going through my pix.

I just discovered the Mapillary app the other day, but that's looking to be of limited utility. Lots of pix on the area avenues, but almost all of at least 4 years old.

Okay. Thanks for the tip.

There's no actual "air gap" between the buildings involved and the rest of the hospital that I am aware of. But I haven't been in that part of the hospital, so don't know if they blocked off connecting hallways/doorways or what. I assume at some point building footprints will need to be updated here due to the work the developers have done. I wasn't aware of how much they did until reading that article.

I think I was doing it this way because I had seen something in the neighborhood already done this way.

It did make me raise an eyebrow the other day when I noticed some business had been labeled as being on "level=0", and I wondered if the editor was European.

To be honest, I'm surprised I haven't made that error. Or maybe this is just the first one that was caught. There have been a few times I have been close to making it before e.g. noticing that the business had an "operator" in addition to the name.

I think the jewelry creator is someone who has used the Skill Mill location to make their products. Exterior signage outside says Skill Mill. There's nothing about jewelry that I've noticed. However, they've been closed most of the time when I've passed by lately, with a gate pulled down so that you can't see any signs in the windows.

No idea how that happened. Since it says v4 on that address, it looks like I updated business info there. But I don't recall that formerly being a dessert cafe.

Thank you!

Due to tiling and timing, the building returned in increments. The first bit not long after you edited, and the rest of it sometime later.

MxxCon, I'm trying to figure out how to revert the building deletion, and it looks like a hairball. Is this something you know how to do?

I have no idea how that happened. I certainly did not mean to do so.

OSM was acting a little odd for me last week, in ways that I can't begin to explain. This must be some extra weird result of that.

Oooh, that is helpful

Thanks. I was checking the city buildings database/mapping website yesterday and was surprised to see the new building footprint was not marked.

BTW: Should you be anywhere within view of the UWS, you can't miss the building. It is directly across the street from the tower at Riverside Church and about the same height.

Uh-oh. Now that I look at OSM a bit closer, I see another big new apartment building just two blocks away that is not marked, and it's been open a couple years. It also seems to have been built on property that belongs to a religious/educational organization.

I think that about sums it up.

The entire block was seminary buildings around a courtyard. What I believe happened is that the seminary leased out a part of their property for construction of the apartment tower so they now have guaranteed income from the lessees, but that necessitated demolishing part of one of their existing buildings.

Not far away, the Cathedral of St. John the Divine leased out part of their property during the past 15 years for construction of three apartment buildings. But in that case the only demolition that happened was of a stonecrafters' shed and no actual religious/instructional buildings were touched.

I don't know if people have started moving in, but from the outside it looks pretty much done. The building topped off months ago, before the Rockwell at 103rd did.

I think figured out what storefront you were referring to where I changed amenity=bar to store=vacant. That location has not been a bar for at least 15 years. It was a convenience store / deli for most of that time but is currently vacant.
