The purpose of this report is to evaluate the current state of the 77 privately owned public spaces in Manhattan’s Community District Six in order to determine the extent to which—if any—a site’s condition affects accessibility.  The primary intention here is to identify, categorize and describe all existing violations at a particular public space. The study’s secondary but by no means less significant aim is to provide a practical instrument and thoroughly-documented resource that city officials can use to enforce the mandates set forth in the city’s zoning text pertaining to the operating standards of privately owned public spaces, thereby ensuring that our community’s open spaces are utilized and enjoyed to the their fullest capacity by the public at large.
