Damn it, we're talking about Manhattan—it was already reaching for the sky before airplanes even existed.

There is no restriction on height here.
All buildings above a minimal height have to submit plans to the FAA for safety (obstruction) reasons. The information given comes directly from the developers. There is nothing unusual here. People in other cities would have more to complain about.
