Would it be possible to get a bit more information from that customer? I'm not seeing any news articles of those pools getting removed. https://www.nycgovparks.org/parks/collect-pond-park/ doesn't mention any construction projects other than the one in 2011. Streetview imagery from Oct 2023 shows they are still there with water.

It feels like that person might have misunderstood that the water in those pools is drained during colder months?

Additionally, "Independent" is not a valid value for brand= tag. That's not a name of a brand.

As documented on stars=*#United_States
stars= tag for hotels should not be used in US at all.

Also if you don't see "STOP" written on the road at cars' stop position, it's most likely traffic lights.

so if you go to https://jmapb.github.io/nycaabs/?search=1089808 it'll load all the building info and in the table below you'll see the first section called "Footprint". There you'll see the date this (version of) building was completed, if it's completed/demolished/under construction, and its height. The newest height is most likely the current one..
You can also click on "View BBL @ ZoLa" to open Zola and there you find how many floors a building it, how many apartments it has (and other unrelated to osm, but still interesting info).

jmapb's site also links to zoning documents. Zoning diagrams type "ZD1" most often have architectural drawing of the building with dimensions and heights of all/most sections of the building. They are very useful if you ever get into detailed 3d mapping of buildings.

You can spot traffic signals from satellite imagery by distinctive diagonal poles/gantry extending from corners of the intersection towards the middle of it. On 12th ave and 66th st you can see them extending from W and E corners of the intersection.
On 12th ave and 45th st they are and their shadows are more clearly visible.

Hello.
Are you sure about this edit? Those areas are pools. It just might be empty/dry now during the winter months..

"DSNY" should probably be expanded or tag renamed to operator:short

That's why jmapb's site is so helpful. :) It automatically looks it up in the correct places. And if you don't have BIN, you can search by address or even from the map on the right side.

Read your own wiki link to building=semidetached_house!🤦‍♂️

Apartment building doesn't need to have one main entrance. There are plenty of apartment buildings with either multiple main entrances or with apartment access directly from the street.
Apartment building is a residential building with multiple independent dwellings. The type of access to them doesn't determine that.

Please read up on the ref= tag ref=* and how it's different from the name= tag
