Illegally Fencing-Off the Public Thoroughfare?


8 foot high chain link fence continues in existence on the west side of 41st Street between Berrian Boulevard and 19th Avenue.  Now this fencing has even been decorated with floral greenery!

PHOTO 1.  An accident waiting to happen?   Note protruding sloped 
incline planted with flowers to the left of the summit of the hill.   Who
owns this dangerously-positioned incline on this TWO WAY street?
The City of New York or the Steinway Mansion owners?

PHOTO 2.  Note the neighboring property's already existing fencing shown 
with the red hand.   Blue hand indicates the newly constructed fencing
erected by the Steinway Mansion owners.   Have they diminished perhaps
dangerously the width of the public roadway?   

PHOTO 3.  Another view of the above.   Why the need for new fencing on 
this narrowly dangerous 2-way public right of way?
.

PHOTO 4.  An extensive view of the fencing seen going up and over the
hill with the blocked view for the 2-way traffic.

PHOTO 5.  A recent view of this fencing now festooned with decorative 
flora.   Look closely and you can see the already existing neighboring
property's lengthy fencing.

ambiguously-owned protruding incline.   View on 41st Street looking 
north to Berrian Boulevard.
