Not just the items you mentioned, but more:
The railing
The Columns on the sides of the doorway
The concrete stoop/step (that had a yellow painted edge) was cut way back
The metal ramps up into the doors either side of the main entrance were removed.
Etc.
Here's more "before" pics
Here's the NYPD fixing vialoations
Notice the columns (and bases they sat on as well as the overhanging arch) are gone around the main door. The concrete stoop/step is MUCH smaller and now rounded off. Etc.
WTG NYPD. HA = Dumbasses
