A reminder on this topic: https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/TIGER_Edited_Map has a list (in Basic use) and even a graphic (at the top) of the "key / rules" that were used in the ITOWorld TIGER-completion map.
There are links to "the best of what remains" to further the endeavor of TIGER cleanup, including some very good Overpass Turbo queries, what I myself have found a useful alternative since the demise of ITOWorld's excellent visualization product. That page links to Minh's excellent https://wiki.osm.org/wiki/TIGER_fixup/Overpass_queries, which while it states these remain "unreviewed," offers at least four such queries which I hope are helpful to all who endeavor to clean up TIGER data. I have used at least some of these queries, they do work and they are helpful.
While I would enthusiastically welcome a re-creation (or reasonable facsimile) of the ITOWorld visualizer (so pretty! so effective!), we can (and must!) continue to "muddle through" with the current tools available to us for TIGER cleanup. At least now we have a reference for how the ITOWorld visualizer was implemented, that (wiki page) gives me some hope.
Can we reduce "it's still gonna take a few decades to complete TIGER Review?" We can!
