APPROVED
LPC Public Hearing – July 8th, 2025
NO ACTION – The majority of commissioners were fine with the pink paint and the one-over-one windows at the primary facade, but there was collective hesitation about the cumulative effect of both the rooftop and rear yard additions and how those angles work together. Parallel lines, or a more rationalized geometry may make them feel less oversized. The applicants were asked to think about how to rationalize the geometries, and to consider the cumulative effect of the scale of those additions. There was general support for each component, but it needs more work to be approved as a whole project.
Community Board 2 Meeting – June 12th, 2025
CB Resolution Recommends:
A. Approval of the front facade work provided that the windows are of a historic wooden design as agreed by the applicant and that the paint is an historic, soft white; and
B. Approval of the demolition of the non-historic rear extension; and
C. Denial of the rooftop construction unless the height is reduced by moving the mechanical equipment to a non-visible location; and
D. Denial of the rear extension unless it is in line with the extension of the adjacent house to the west in order to preserve the remaining doughnut area and that the upper floors above the parlor floor be in historic punched double hung design in the historic tripartite configuration; and
E. Approval of the rear yard excavation and basement extension provided that all regulations are followed and customary care is taken with the underpinning and the security of the neighboring gardens to ensure the integrity of adjoining buildings and gardens.
