Could be Platanus occidentalis?
Platanus occidentalis would have more rigid leaves and solitary heads. This is P. racemosa.
Thanks for the correction in id.
Platanus occidentalis aka American Sycamore looks good. Please, working only with the images offered which do not show some necessary details to make a proper identification,
I see the fruit is single or double rather than in bunches (P occidentalis = single fruit; or two frutis (sometimes three) per stem P. racemosa = multiple fruits per stem); geographical location, P racemosa occurs in the western part of the US; P occidentalis in the eastern part).
A more likely possibility is the Platanus x acerifolia, common name London Plane, a hybrid which is commonly planted as a street tree in the eastern part of the US.
Forgive me if this link is not acceptable. The District Department of Transportation (DDOT} Urban Forestry Administration (UFA) keeps track of street trees and has created a map. If the person who supplied the images kept a note of the address and/or the GPS location of this tree, one can zoom in on the map, click on the circles to see the identification of each tree.
