I have some reservations as well, mainly regarding the ground floor treatment (i.e. brick vs. original stone columns, lack of awnings, etc.). The second and third floors are well done, however.

Thats where my main point of contention is as well. To me the brick columns feel kind of oppressive, especially compared to the glassiness of the original design;

Since I have had to push a wheel chair around a bit. they could have still maintained the grade from the curb and cleared the door. This is a main sidewalk , it should have been a straight shot from the intersection.

They could have angled it down from the third cut.

As it is a can see able body walkers tripping on this as well. You don't expect a stair on a sidewalk.
 
Pictures + 311 + Reddit. Maybe a news outlet will pick it up and they will fix it.
