PAST HEARING/MEETING DATES and DECISIONS

LPC Public Hearing – October 28th, 2025
NO ACTION: Most commissioners were fine with the proposed front facade and rooftop alterations, though there were some comments suggesting that the applicants adjust the height of the parlor windows, and reduce the amount of glazing at the studio window. Opinions regarding the rear alterations were mixed. Some commissioners were fine with the proposal, while others expressed that at least some of the historic rear facade should be retained. The overall consensus was that an extension of some sort is probably appropriate, but there weren’t enough votes in favor of fully demolishing the rear facade to reach a majority.

Community Board 2 Meeting – October 16th, 2025
CB Resolution Recommends:
A. Approval of the reconfiguration of the front facade windows, the areaway, and the iron work; and
B. Denial of the entrance unless it includes framing in a historic design for the door; and
C. Approval of the design for the windows at the rear facade; and
D. Approval of the lot line windows and the flue extensions; and
E. Approval of the penthouse with the suggestion that the studio window be smaller and the height of
the front wall be increased to minimize the visibility of the railing; and
F. That there is clarification as to the regulations concerning the use of the private garden area to
extend the rear facade, that there is dialogue between the applicant and the association members, and
that, in any case, strong consideration be given to reducing the depth of the ground floor extension in
order to conform to the customary use of this area in other houses in the association.
