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.
