GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
It is reasonably well written. a (prose, spelling, and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists): It is factually accurate and verifiable. a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR): d (copyvio and plagiarism): It is broad in its coverage. a (major aspects): b (focused): It follows the neutral point of view policy. Fair representation without bias: It is stable. No edit wars, etc.: It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate. a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall: Pass/Fail:

A handful of copy tweaks and alt text. Given that it's been a while, a fresh set of eyes could find more. 7-day hold to Epicgenius. Sammi Brie (she/her • t • c) 03:34, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Copy changes

History

• That June, two of the mortgage bondholders sued the Chanins and requested that the building be put into receivership, but a New York Supreme Court judge denied the request. Most of the earliest leases were for smaller apartments, but the larger units were being leased at a rate of one per day by September 1932. Maybe this belongs in the next paragraph?
• The New York Majestic Corporation took over the building in 1937. That November, the Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York loaned $2.5 million to the New York Majestic Corporation. Consider reflow to combine.
• Some tenants opposed the conversion and sued in the New York Supreme Court in an attempt to halt the conversion; maybe "halt it".

Notable people

• (later called the Genovese crime family) Add comma after this parenthetical.

Source spot checks

I randomly chose 9 refs for checks:

• 24 Y Chanin/Delamarre, NPS report
• 27 Y Emporis listing of 31 floors
• 63 Y "Extending their activities to Manhattan in 1924..."
• 66 Book source without preview.
• 82 Do not have access in ProQuest, though citation is correct for this article.
• 86 Same.
• 103 Same.
• 106 Y Permission for tenants to replace windows.
• 114 Do not have access in ProQuest, though headline would seemingly corroborate.

Other items

• Images are appropriately licensed but need alt text.
• Earwig only catches unavoidable formulations, the included quotes, and some proper nouns.
• References are archived.

@Sammi Brie, thanks for the review. I have now fixed all of these issues. – Epicgenius (talk) 13:47, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
