Johnny Culver on 650 Fifth Avenue:
Great space, but 2 of the three lights are not working. No big deal.
A Local Resident on 90 Washington Street:
As can be seen by the photo from Google taken in August 2021, this place has increased its dining space to about 5x's it's allotted interior,. Over the last several weeks, the restaurant has been painting its outdoor furniture under the scaffolding, and today is installing outdoor heaters, under the scaffolding, and at the base of a residential tower. The City continues to permit the private gain of public space.
Patrick Way on 180 Maiden Lane:

APOPS on 25 Kent Avenue:
Our data comes from New York City's Department of City Planning (DCP). At the moment, this appears to be the case. There are no required amenities. However, the POPS at 25 Kent Avenue also appears to be a new public space. When we get new data from DCP (this happens about once a year), the details about amenities may change.
James Corner on 25 Kent Avenue:
What are the amenities required/provided? It is true that there are "no required" amenities?
