Many properties in NYC extend out into the sidewalk. First they have a vault space under the sidewalk which is their property, as is the sidewalk above the property. However if they do not enforce the closure on a regular basis then they loose the right to do so.This is the reason why you can see many sidewalk cafes. They actually do own that part of the sidewalk. With larger buildings you will see brass lines embedded in the sidewalk with a plaque stating who the owner is and that they can revoke access rights. In some cases the entire street is privately owned. Rockefeller Plaza is one of these. They close the street once a year (when they put up that giant Christmas Tree) to keep their ownership of that street active. The actual property owner, IIRC, is Columbia University. ROAR |
