to everyone so worked up about bricks on the 25th floor:
if you search for '1412 broadway' (which OP mentioned multiple times) you quickly find 'Elsie Rooftop' bar. which, in fact, is on the 25th floor of 1412 broadway. on opentable, you find this picture of the bar:
which shows, that there are bricks on the 25th floor of 1412 broadway. and that there is a structure in the background, which looks quite similar to what OP posted.
is it proof, that everything about OPs picture and small description is genuine? no! is it enough things that matches, so that I believe them? yes! especially considering that this would be a weirdly well constructed forgery for some internet points...
The building is steel frame with brick and terracotta facade which is actually pretty common in NYC
