Tree seen in Buffalo, NY.

Looks close to Tilia cordata seen by me in California earlier.

Experts kindly validate.

Please check for T. henryi,

Thanks a lot ...

I think you meant Tilia henryana.

Although I am not an expert, please look at Tilia americana.

Three are found in the northeastern US and nearby in Canada:

T. americana L. var. americana, American Basswood;

T. americana L. Var. caroliniana (Mill.) Castigl., Carolina Basswood, and

T. americana L. var. hererophylla (Vent.) Loudon, American Basswood.

Yes T. americana looks better ID.
