Hi Oleg -- is node/6264915985 really a hospital? It looks a little small. Maybe healthcare=centre or healthcare=clinic would be more appropriate.

Also, from imagery it looks like the full name is "Professional Medical Plaza" not just "Medical Plaza". Can you confirm?

Great, thanks. I've changed it from amenity=cafe to disused:amenity=cafe.

(No other obvious reason for it to be two-way, that is.)

Though crossing the lanes of North Conduit might prove difficult in traffic, there's no signage preventing it, and there's no other obvious purpose for the Cranston segment between 138th Ave and North Conduit.

Hi dcehlk -- is this location still operating as a cafe under a different name, or is it currently disused?

Hi Madi12 -- what's the source for these speed limits?

Hi again, if I don't hear back from you I'm inclined to revert this changeset, as it's currently a map error.

Hi yonatanlivney, can you clarify this changeset? You've created a new building (way/66794170) overtop of three existing buildings. Have these old buildings been demolished? Are the old addresses (1 Bond, 7 Bond, and 350 Lafayette) no longer in use?

Hi -- This office is tagged with address 4910 but the node is placed in the building 4908. Is it possible that the node is positioned incorrectly?

Hi Shane-Lester 99, welcome to OSM!

It looks like you've added a building here ( way/667064179 ) overtop of an existing building ( way/241845016 ). This is considered a mapping error. It's probably better to just draw a node for St Johns and put it inside the existing building, rather than creating a new one. It would also be good to tag it with some basic info, like "amenity=college" and "website=https://www.stjohns.edu/campuses/manhattan"

I'd be happy to assist with this if you have any questions.

Thanks for your contributions, jmapb

Hi -- Looks like you changed the name= but there's still a name:en= with the old name -- is this intentional? (Also guessing that this node should be moved inside the building perimeter...) Thanks, J

Well, looks like you accidentally removed the entire building. I reverted all these changes so you should be able to start over and try again. Good luck, J

Hi Daniel, OSM uses the traditional European definition of "deli", not the American one. See shop=deli

Hi mdroads -- Any particular reason to remove the cuisine=italian tag from Vapiano?

Hi Paldesk -- I'm inclined to revert these changes if I don't hear back from you. J

Hi Paldesk -- unless you're the only tenant in this building, please represent your office with a node instead of tagging the entire building.

Regardless, it's wrong to delete the "height" and "nycdoitt:bin" building property tags from the building way.

Thanks, your pal. jmapb

Aha -- I see my mistake! If you click on the profile photo on Facebook (in the circle), you can see "Unnameable" on the large sign over the window, but the hanging shingle sign says
UNMAL
NAEBE
and I read it straight across. Silly me.

Hi red_clover -- check again! I thought the sign said "Unnameable" at first but I"m pretty sure that "Unmalnaebe" is, in fact, the spelling on the sign.

I like to keep the map and the database as simple as possible, so I'll prefer to add the POI (shop/restaurant/etc) tags to the building itself -- IF, big if, it's the sole tenant of the building. I tagged the post office at way/248179013 this way, for example. But in NYC this is rarely the case -- most buildings have multiple tenants. If a building has a separate residential entrance, or multiple commercial units, then I'll generally use a node for the POI.

Similarly with addresses -- if a building has only one address, then the address tags go on the building. If it has more than one, then we use nodes for the various addresses, ideally located near the entrance in question.

This is the addressing method that was used during the NYC building shape import that happened in 2013, so it's best to follow that standard. In Brooklyn it was also decided in most cases to tag the addresses with house number, street name, and zip code only -- the zip code and geographical location both unambiguously put the address in Brooklyn NY USA, so it's not necessary to add the city, state, and country fields. Saves a little time.

Another shortcut is that when placing a POI node in a building that has only one address, there's no need to add the address tags to the POI at all. It will inherit from the building it's in. Though some people do like to add the extra tags anyway. See https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/48735/address-information-in-poi-and-building for a discussion of pros and cons.

Happy mapping, jmapb
