This very much seems like, Why does OSM have two separate tags for this?

Cannabis is probably the correct tag for it, but I expect that like 90+% of the weed shops in the city it is operating without a license. I laugh whenever I walk by here at night and there is a police car parked outside.

Oy. I cannot keep track of all the OSM attribute tags and their permutations.

The name is the Clebourne, with an O. But for some reason there is a fair amount of published material naming it without an O, including Wikipedia. I was getting paranoid about it until a couple days ago when I ran across about an actual blog post discussing the matter, along with listing some famous or semi-famous people who liver here. I added the note to the entry for the next person who comes along confused as I was. Conceivably I could have skipped adding the alt_name tag.

I'm debating whether I should also go fix the Wikipedia entry.

This might actually make sense. Stand Up NY is moving or has moved out of that address. They are supposedly opening two other locations, one of which is in the Times Square area and is another POI that that person was editing. However, he did not change the name on the TS POI so I don't know what's up with that.

They have not yet updated their website with the new address(es) info, etc., but that's no surprise at all.

Another comedy club is supposed to move into the 78th St location, but I haven't found further details on whether that deal has closed and when they might move in.

Changesets 149353815 and 149353771 were filed one minute apart yesterday morning by someone apparently in Seattle.

I'm the person who first added the POI to OSM back at the start of February after I was passing by one night and noticed it was there and open.

But I haven't been down that direction in a couple weeks. Will try to pay attention next time I am.

I'm confused. Someone deletes this location? AFAIK, it is still in business and their website is advertising shows next weekend.

Sorry, I meant that some neighborhood community gardens are called gardens in their signage, but are marked on OSM as parks.

I've been trying to get OSM to mark this as a green rectangle, which it apparently won't do if you mark something as a garden. But it still doesn't do so after I changed it to a "park" as I have seen done elsewhere for some rooftop gardens. And certainly I see some ground-level lot-size community gardens in the neighborhood are marked on OSM as "parks" and have signage saying that.

So, IDK. I give up. Do whatever you think best.

I think there's a URL in the POI if you want more info. If not, see https://thelotusgarden.org

Seeing the three names lined up kept eating at me, so I finally decided to draw an encompassing apt complex and put the common name on that.

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.
