I'll review this. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 19:21, 27 August 2022 (UTC)

Images are appropriately tagged; sources are reliable.

• Is the earlier Park Avenue Hotel worth a redlink?
• Do we know why sources disagree on the number of stories? Seems a very basic fact to get right.
• "The building's height was dictated by potential profits, since elevators and other service areas took up a significant part of the rentable area on upper stories." I don't follow this; can you explain?
• "The easternmost seven bays are divided into two outer bays and five central bays, similar to design as the facade on Park Avenue), while the westernmost three bays are again different in design": stray parenthesis.
• "The spandrels alternatively contain narrow brick headers": I think you mean "alternately"?
• In the "Interior" section we jump to past tense, because the renovations mean some of what's described is no longer there. Suggest implying this for the reader by adding "originally" before the first use of past tense: "The lobby's design originally largely consisted...". Actually the first past tense is the subway entrance in the basement, but we don't explicitly say that no longer exists.
• "Breitbart also refused to recognize their ownership stakes": What does it mean to recognize an ownership stake?
• The "thousands of dollars of damage" caused by the food trucks is cited to sources both of which only say the building manager claimed this, not that it was true.

Thanks for the review. Regarding the number of stories, there is a mechanical penthouse above the 28th story, which may or may not be classified as its own story. Usually, mechanical penthouses aren't counted, but some sources may count all stories between ground level and the highest roof, regardless of whether the upper stories are actually habitable.

I have fixed the remaining issues now. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:05, 2 September 2022 (UTC)

Fixes look good; passing. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 15:04, 2 September 2022 (UTC)
