General comment - This is kinda splitting hairs, but you refer to the building as the Con Ed Building, but never directly indicate that it is frequently known by that name. You state that the Consolidated Edison is known as Con Ed, but it would probably best to throw in Con Ed Building as another one of the alternate names in the lead.

Done

Lead - Maybe it's just me, but "As such, Hardenbergh" doesn't seem to fit squarely with the previous sentence. My personal preference would be "As a result", but if you want to keep it as "As such", then do so.

Done

You mention and cite in the lead that the building was named a New York City designated landmark, but don't mention this in the text. It would probably be best to add this sentence to the main body of the text (probably to the end of the use section, right after where you talk about changing the lightbulbs in 2008) and move the citation to there.

Done I moved it to the architecture section. epicgenius (talk) 22:50, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox - Irving Place is mentioned in the article, but the exact address of 4 Irving Place doesn't seem to be cited anywhere.

Done Cited in the architecture section. epicgenius (talk) 22:50, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The height of the building does not seem to be cited anywhere.

Wikilink rowhouses

Done

Use - "Four years later, Consolidated Gas became Consolidated Edison," - This a merger or a rename? If it's a rename, you might want to specify that, and a merger should definitely be mentioned (probably a rename given the context).

Done It was a rename and incorporation. epicgenius (talk) 22:50, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

"1965-1966" - Needs an endash per MOS:DATERANGE.

Done

This one needs a thorough read over for the connections between two sentences. For example, "and the tower and facade were repaired from 1997 to 2001,[32] The light bulbs on the facade were replaced in 2008" - Either the comma needs to be a period or the last clause needs to start with "and the". There was another instance I believe where a new sentence didn't start with a capital letter, but I don't remember where that was.

I fixed the punctuation of both instances. I sometimes use a period when I should be using a comma, probably because of working with VisualEditor. epicgenius (talk) 22:50, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Architecture - Wikilink "quoining"

Ref 37, the press release - Is this only available as a paper copy? Is there any more information to distinguish this press release from others, like an author or something?
- Unfortunately it's no longer available online. So yes, this is now only available as a paper copy. epicgenius (talk) 22:50, 20 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
