Not only does that page not have any photos of the building, but it, most noxiously, disables text highlighting and right click.

And it "has the worst Energy Star rating of any building in New York at 3 out of 100". "Functional", you say?

Even worse: it doesn't disable highlighting, it just tries to overwrite click-drag with a swipe gesture to navigate between (?) articles.
