On the south side of the block, in front of the federal building, community standards officer is ticketing cars. The block is parked full despite the clear “No Parking” signs. Officer explains that spaces had been added there when Fifth Avenue was closed for underground parking garage construction. People have not unlearned the habit.

IMHO – those spaces at the Federal Building were there long before they started working on the underground garage, but removed at the completion with the insertion of metered parking.
Now its basically a taxi stand and a bus stop for that full block.
