Is there any public notice of this?
If I recall correctly, the OSM Wiki has a page that lists copyrighted sources with explicit allowances for OSM.

This seems like a copyrighted book with no permission to be used in OSM.

Let me be clear: I've never claimed ownership over any part of the map, nor have I ever tried to forbid mapping in any area. My core desire was always to see more mappers contributing to NYC. There's still an immense amount of work to be done – adding, improving, and updating.

My involvement in reviewing edits around NYC was born from my familiarity with the city. I live here, I know it. My goal was to ensure that such a highly visible and important area maintained the highest possible map quality. I wanted NYC to be a showcase and reference for OSM. When I saw what I considered to be inaccurate or suboptimal mapping, I'd comment on those changesets. This wasn't about stagnating the map; it was about seeking clarification, suggesting corrections, and ultimately, helping to prevent future mistakes, improve mapping standards and minimize the amount of changesets I would need to review. When I see edits from people that I know they consistently generate quality edits I only randomly look at their stuff to see if I can spot any unintentional mistakes.

Throughout my 15 years with OpenStreetMap, and particularly in recent years, I've navigated many disagreements. There have been misunderstandings and frustrations, of course. But every time, these issues were resolved respectfully, and we all learned something. What I've just experienced from @catgirlseraid, however, was a shocking and unprecedented "fuck you, fuck off" attitude towards my reviews and these following edits.

And when it came to "raising it with the community"? I tried. On Discord. My concerns were met with dismissive mockery – "🤓👆Ummmm, akschulally" and similar garbage.

The idea of "don't throw your toys out of the pram" misses the point entirely. These "toys" no longer bring me joy; they bring only stress. I'm no longer willing to endure that.

I'm increasingly seeing a trend where the community leans towards turning OSM into an art project with aesthetically pleasing shapes on Carto, essentially tagging for the renderer, instead of adhering to the principle of renderer-agnostic, data-accurate mapping. I'm no longer interested in fighting against it. I'm no longer interested in reviewing anything, nor am I interested in editing. I am simply done.

The 8,000 people who edit OSM daily will continue to improve the map, but I will not be among them.

P.S. As for the buildings @catgirlseraid re-added: they are temporary, seasonal tents erected and removed for various events. They are not permanent fixtures that should be mapped on OpenStreetMap. But I suppose that detail is irrelevant if it "looks good on Carto" for a personal portfolio website.

You know it's customary to communicate with the author of the changeset you are going to revert before reverting it... Something I've done for you, and for you to tell me to fix it myself, and something your haven't done to me.
Your previous actions caused me to completely stop reviewing ALL changesets.
Your current action made me stop contributing any edits.
Good destroying my passion for OSM after 15 years of contributing.
Good job building OSM community strong.

I haven't finished working on this area. I have limited free time to allocate to this and the amount of damage done to this area is significant. It'll take me multiple changesets to correct all the issues. As you know, it takes much longer to fix problems than to map from scratch.

I consider intentionally deleted tree nodes and instead drawing ambiguous "woods" shapes, even around single trees, to be bad mapping.

When I communicated numerous issues I observed in the previous mapper's changes, her reply to me was "fix it yourself" and "stop commenting on my changesets". I'm doing both.

Those features are already mapped as ways, and it's inappropriate to duplicate the same features twice.

Why these crosswalks are not straight ways?🤣😭
In case you are not aware, you can select a way and press "S" shortcut to make it straight.

Hello.
Are these speed limits accurate? Seems a bit strange to be so high in a building passage and such a busy area.

This is the feature that you tagged as scrub: https://www.hmdb.org/PhotoFullSize.asp?PhotoID=572505

This seems to be more of Counterguard or counterscarp as shown on this photo https://npplan.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Fort-Jay-Diagram.jpg

Hello.
I do not believe the features you tagged are faussebraye.
You can see some clearer photos at https://www.nps.gov/gois/learn/historyculture/fortjay.htm and https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c0/Fort_Jay_Governors_Island_and_Lower_Manhattan_skyline.jpg
If anything could be considered faussebraye, that would be the outer feature, not the inner one.

Hello.
Please note that this edit is incorrect.
These are retaining walls of a moat around this fort. These features do not raise above the ground level.
barrier=retaining_wall
barrier=city_wall
This edit should be corrected/reverted.

Hello again.
You tagged entranced to this fort(currently under repair) as natural=scrub. This doesn't seem correct..🤔

Hello.
You really should not be hand-drawing outlines of trees' canopies and deleting tree nodes.
That's called osm.wiki/Tagging_for_the_renderer and that's inappropriate.
Tree canopies change as trees grow, with seasons as they lose and gain leaves and as their branches break or get trimmed. So your mapping becomes inaccurate with each season. However, trees themselves remain where their nodes are.

Hello.
If this is a driveway then it should just be updated as such, rather than outright deleted.

Hello.
Please note that when you create features in OSM, their street names must be fully spelled out, without abbreviations. This is documented on osm.wiki/Abbreviations

If you want, yes, you can revert your edit using a tool like https://revert.monicz.dev/. Just give it this changeset ID and it'll do the rest, and then you can update the restored node.
