Which is to say, I know what was there a couple years ago but not right now. If I'd know this spot was flagged I would have checked last weekend when I passed by only 100 yards away. Next time...

See the discussion for note #163784.

I wasn't sure about the best option on The Hamilton(s). They are separate buildings, but they were built together by the same developer 120 years ago (although they were called something else back then), so the architecture is consistent and they all have the name on their entrance awnings.

The Stephan Russo Residence is a former SRO that got shut down by the city for illegally operating as a hotel called the Morningside Inn. The property is being renovated by an area non-profit that will re-open it late this year as long-term low-income housing called the S.R.R. More at https://goddard.org/stephan-russo-residence/

I'm aware of that. I've been using several different OSM apps on my phone when I'm out and about, and whoa, are they all different.

I just explicitly put the P.O. name back in the name field. Otherwise, the OSM website interface shows no name at all on the post office, just the icon. This is the main post office for the zip code, so it merits its name being seen.

There are a couple post offices further south in the UWS that I think the names are missing, but they may be places that relocated into newer buildings. The Ansonia station for example is about 4 blocks from the Ansonia.

I noticed you changed the add:number in the building area data here to 212. I had set it to 206, as that's what's at top of the city BIN record. Wondering what your reasoning is? And does it especially matter?

Yes, the address marked on the building street front does say 212, which is why I had put a 212 on the entrance POI.

No, I see that the Cathedral Station PO also has operator=USPS.

Or did you just add that?

Cathedral Station was what it was labeled before I decided to try mucking about with it, and it is indeed what is carved into the stone above the entrance. So I left it that way. I did consider whether I ought to change the name to say "USPS Cathedral Station".

Okay, I see that the post office by the Natural History Museum is tagged differently and the USPS logo shows up in its info. Looks like that because it's been tagged with operator= USPS?

Speaking of school names, what do you think of the long label on 154 West 93rd St?

What you did is fine. I had updated it to match the signage I've seen outside when walking by, and also the school names listed in the building found on the DOE website's own map. I had never heard of the "crossroads" school that it was previously labeled.

I don't know if makes any sense to add an additional edu POI marker for Mot Hall II, which as I understand it occupies the 4th floor. But again, I'm satisfied with your changes.

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.
