Review

• Should it's new name be in the first sentence perMOS:FIRST? (I see there's already a redirect from that term)
  • Maybe. The reason I didn't is because the name is mainly political branding, and seemed out of place in the first sentence. It is also seemed a bit POV to use the political name. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 02:01, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
• It seems necessary to mention the affordable housing aspect of the tax break in Concept as it's now an important part of the break.
  • I have added a sentence mentioning that in the concept section. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 02:18, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
• a change from temporary subjection to those same laws can this be made clearer?
  • I have reworded the sentence. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 02:20, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
• What were the restriction placed on Manhattan in 1984(?)? The next sentence hints at it but could be made clearer and I'm not sure of the interplay with the next paragraph
  • Clarification added, including the other major restriction in 1984, from the same source. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 17:19, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
• In the GEA section can you clarify under which "old" version you're talking about in the second paragraph?
  • Clarified. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 17:21, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
• I did a copy edit as I read. Please make sure I didn't change any meanings.
  • I reviewed your copy edit and made any changes necessary to preserve meaning. Overall, the copy edit was well done. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 17:40, 28 July 2018 (UTC)
• Under the current program is a developer required to maintain affordable rents beyond the first tenant? I'm slightly confused by the various sections.
  • I made it specific that new tenants are not covered if the rent of a given unit is over $2700 per month.
• See no issues with edit warring, images, OR, or copyright.

Discussion

Can PointsofNoReturn or other editor confirm they are interested in going through the GA review process? Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 23:11, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

I am interested in going through with the review. I will mostly do the heavy work during the weekend due to work, but overall I will be free enough to respond to your review points. Thank you in advance for taking the time to review this article. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 00:21, 4 July 2018 (UTC)

Sorry I went on an unexpected wikibreak and forgot to come back to this when I returned late last week. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 17:25, 23 July 2018 (UTC)

All good, don't worry about it. I have been on a wikibreak for a while now, so this is no big deal. Thank you for remembering to stop by. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 02:01, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Hi, Barkeep49. I have replied to your points about improving the article and made changes in response to your points. Is there anything else you would like to go over? PointsofNoReturn (talk) 17:45, 28 July 2018 (UTC)

@PointsofNoReturn: I am traveling at the moment but when I get some time I will review the changes and let you know if there's anything else or I'll close it out as a pass. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 05:09, 29 July 2018 (UTC)

@Barkeep49 and PointsofNoReturn: Just FYI I added a few clarifying details to the article, nothing significant. I was actually unaware of the GAN until now, but as someone who had to research the 421a exemption today, I think this article is pretty well-written. epicgenius (talk) 00:34, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Just looked over the current version, including epicgenius's changes and I agree it's ready to go. Congrats PointsofNoReturn. Sorry for the delays due to my limited Wikipeding while traveling. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:04, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

So in looking over the GA list I have put it under Law (the Cases and domestic law subsection) as it seems to fit better there than any of the politics subcategories. If there's a problem with that feel free to move it. Best, Barkeep49 (talk) 02:09, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing the article, Barkeep49. I really appreciate it. Also, thank you for making the additional changes, Epicgenius. PointsofNoReturn (talk) 03:56, 4 August 2018 (UTC)
