Now, in 2007, Levine Builders started setting up scaffolding. In 2009, construction was well underway, and in both censored and uncensored versions the name of Levine Builders. What irks me is, why not censor the name of the construction company building it, but instead censor the construction work? Why not censor the building on the 2014, built version? What were they building (perhaps some unusual doorways, rooms not supposed to be there, strange piping etc.) that had to be censored?
Assuming the non-censored version was not, in fact, an oversight. Then why only censor one side of the construction instead of the other? This makes me think there was something in that one scene that should not have been built/happening/there in the first place.
One more thing: why censor it now? OP posted it recently right, and they didn't even speak about the construction, just the off coordinates! Of course OPs original link lead to just a satellite map view, which THEN lead to street view of 2009 if you clicked on that. Why go to all the trouble to block out something people haven't found yet? Just a thought...

2007 - Building/basic scaffolding set up - Levine Builders (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7439092,-73.9837402,3a,75y,300.9h,92.42t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sLOwdmUtIArph1bNZ-rwx_g!2e0!7i3328!8i1664))
2009- Building, modern building taking shape
This: (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7441377,-73.9839439,3a,75y,179.73h,82.68t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sfUIiVXzm83aohiHVjBE4KQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656)) shows the Consulate of Republic of Moldova in NY being blurred out and censored. Funny how this was just scaffolding and some construction.
Next: (https://www.google.com/maps/@40.7439937,-73.9836905,3a,44.6y,284.75h,82.47t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s8F3wFY6a8r01XEjRGCck9w!2e0!7i13312!8i6656)) shows the actual construction but from a different angle. Maybe they forgot to censor this, I don't know. There is nothing special in the construction (from what I can see), which begs the question: why censor it if it's just construction?
2014- Building standing tall and completed (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/@40.743989,-73.9836943,3a,75y,258.29h,96.12t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sVIRDUoqxUSh0UltmZ5H--g!2e0!7i13312!8i6656))
