Epicgenius, I am fascinated by the Ford Foundation building so am excited to do this review. ALT1 really jumped out at me (even knowing how crazy NYC permitting can be) so this review if for that Alt:

General: Article is new enough and long enough
New enough: Long enough:

Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Adequate sourcing: Neutral: Free of copyright violations, plagiarism, and close paraphrasing:

Hook eligibility:

Cited:
Interesting:
Other problems: - Two issues: 1) I'm a bit concerned by the difference between "the state of New York" in the hook and "The New York State Board of Standards." It wasn't the whole government holding up the window washing, just one Board. 2) the cited article says that the first two floors of windows could be washed, but not all of them. should "the windows" be replaced with "most of the windows"?

QPQ: - Not done
Overall: QPQ needed and the two minor issues with the wording of the hook. once those are fixed this shoud be g2g. Found5dollar (talk) 00:48, 15 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

@Found5dollar: Thanks for the review. I revised the hook accordingly. I had already done a QPQ when you reviewed this nomination, though. epicgenius (talk) 20:23, 15 August 2020 (UTC)Reply
