what are the opinions on installing insulation on top of SATC ? and is this a considered "exposed" or "concealed" insulation ?
 
Not permitted under the ICC energy code. I don't know about NY codes

The insulation never gets but back correctly when some accesses the above ceiling area
 
Not for thermal insulation, but it is not uncommon for acoustic purposes.
