Dear Mark, As you know from the POPS profile of this space, the public-private interface has been an ongoing problem. You may file a 311 complaint to secure an inspection. Thanks for commenting. APOPS|MAS

anon on 52 Broadway:
The space has been redesigned. The walls on the south wall are no longer marble, but of clear glass with lights underneath. The eastern section of the lobby (on the Broadway street level) has always had chairs and tables, as far as I can remember. And that goes back to 2003. I can't speak for accessibility during times of Pandemic, but prior to the Pandemic, they were always open to the public. Additionally, there is a third floor cafeteria that is (during normal times) open to the public
