[OHM] New York Public Library - Building Inspector

[Tim Waters]

Hi Rob,

it has been on the list before - but they have recently revamped it and
added many more features, and maps! In my opinion it's a shining example of
how geo crowdsourcing applications should be.

I believe it has been developed internally with the library - and I think
they are just using Mapbox to host the tiles (originally coming from the
warper at maps.nypl.org)

The code is on github: https://github.com/NYPL/building-inspector and the
data is available to download as well.

Cheers,

Tim
