 * ''Built between 1894 and 1899, it is a New York City Landmark and is listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places ...
 * Yes, you are right, the lead was incorrect, although the body of the article is correct -- I've checked it against the Guide to New York City Landmarks. I've changed the lede to read "Built in two stages, from 1868 to 1870 and from 1894 to 1899, ..." BMK (talk) 20:40, 10 January 2015 (UTC)

 * Specific text to be added or removed : The developers also faced several legal challenges. In late 2015, political operative Dan Hoeg sued Peebles, claiming that the firm had refused to give him 25 percent of the project's profit as part of an agreement with Peebles. Peebles denied that Hoeg had any equity stake in the building, and he countersued the next year, claiming that Hoeg had lied on his resume. former Peebles executive Daniel Newhouse had also sued Peebles for a stake in 346 Broadway's profits, but Newhouse had withdrawn his suit in 2015. Preservationists sued in the New York Supreme Court, the trial-level court of New York state, to prevent the conversion of the clock tower into a private residence. The Supreme Court revoked the LPC's certificate of appropriateness in March 2016, despite the city government's own assertion that the building's owners did not have to maintain the clock. Peebles and El-Ad also had an issue with an appraiser when Peebles sought to have El-Ad buy out his stake in the project. A panel of state judges upheld the Supreme Court's ruling in November 2017.  Peebles and El-Ad developers also sued each other the same year, accusing each other of trying to derail the project. If the developers did not sell at least 35 apartments by August 2018, the city could take back ownership of the building.  By November 2017, Peebles and El-Ad had resolved their legal disputes.


 * Reason for the change: The court case discussed has nothing to do with this building at 108 Leonard Street. Therefore, it's irrelevant to the subject.

 * Per the article, 108 Leonard and 346 Broadway are the same building, which was in fact the subject of the court case and therefore relevant. DrOrinScrivello (talk) 19:51, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
