PAST HEARING/MEETING DATES and DECISIONS
LPC Public Hearing – September 10th, 2024
APPROVED
Community Board 2 Meeting – July 11th, 2024
CB Resolution Recommends:
A. Denial of the black paint on the window frames and fire escape doors on floors 2, 3, and 4, and advocates for the top three floors to be painted in a soft white, as seen in the historic photos. We further suggest that, should the fire escape doors ultimately need to be replaced that they be replaced with partially glazed doors; and
B. Denial of the change of front door material from wood to steel, noting that the effect of the proposed changes in material to the signage, lighting, and doors have the aggregate effect of homogenizing the façade to a point where it loses its defining presence within the NoHo Historic District; and
C. Denial of the five brass lighting fixtures due to their lack of meaningful reference within the district; and
D. Denial of the blade sign due to its lack of meaningful reference within the district, and suggest that the applicant look to the historic photos for signage inspiration; and
E. Approval of the bronze plaque at the entry; and
F. Approval of cellar gates and the removal of 3 additional courses of brick.
