The applicant may return with revised drawings addressing the commissioners’ comments.
Mary Dierks, the project’s preservation consultant, described a proposal to add a new wood storefront on the building’s left side, mirroring commercial changes that have occurred along West Tenth Street. Dierks said the plan would retain the stone cornice and lower stone band where possible and echo proportions of the existing storefront on the right. The applicant’s representative, Robert Chadda, and an architect were available remotely to answer questions.
Speakers at the hearing urged restraint and preservation. John Graham of the Victorian Society said the proposal “would alter the original Ground Floor facade of the building and change the curb view from a historical apartment frontage to a commercial storefront,” and urged alternatives that would preserve more historic fabric — for example, lowering a single window sill to create a door and retaining the existing stone base. Kaylee Johnson of the Historic Districts Council said the concept is ‘‘conceptually appropriate’’ but criticized placing a storefront door directly adjacent to the residential entry and recommended a tripartite treatment to improve symmetry and clarity.
Commissioners voiced similar concerns. Several commissioners said the documentation and elevations did not match the photographs and that proposed cuts into the stone band require additional justification or design refinement. Commissioner Michael Goldblum encouraged preserving more masonry when possible; Commissioner Chiu said the drawings lacked sufficient detail and proportions matter; Commissioner Goldstone and others suggested a range of acceptable solutions, from preserving more masonry to pursuing a distinct, well-resolved storefront that does not simply mimic the neighboring opening. Because commissioners indicated they did not have sufficient support to act, the panel took no action and invited the applicant to return with clearer, more preservation-minded options.
Manhattan Community Board 2 recommended denial. The hearing was closed without a vote on the certificate of appropriateness; staff advised the applicant on possible pathways to return with revised proposals that either preserve additional historic material or present a more intentional new storefront design.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","NYC LPC Public Hearing/Meeting 9/9/2025 Part 2","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners declined to act on a proposal to create a new storefront at 208 West Tenth Street in the Greenwich Village Historic District, citing unclear drawings and a need for more preservation-sensitive design.","taxTitle","New York City, New York County, New York","taxId",3304,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":44,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5986981,"Commission approves painted-wall master plan for 392 West Broadway with limits on size and placement",1292,2448000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5771068-83a273c0132104dacb077ed7076a8a5e&start=2448&end=3740","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5771068-83a273c0132104dacb077ed7076a8a5e/thumbnail_2448000.jpg","/articles/5986981/New-York-City/New-York-County/New-York/Commission-approves-painted-wall-master-plan-for-392-West-Broadway-with-limits-on-size-and-placement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5986981-8b130e253c6c129c6899ca5e2ef547cd/orig.mp4?Expires=1775999922&Signature=KkJcPg7Z-YM1qyRbtHZztsA--wnRZDKX40k11mdQ8PNiF4Cie6yO79WAeUqDu0rkcN1keFkVtLvSKg3MPAicQBOarqsOBA-74mqwgxXB4MAuULBUp6dQiTEAsSzvdpckDuFf1m~lK4T6kxNw3jVK9bpBYzxPu9BJwnarmh9ToVK~UYKn15AujpkmTf3gCE2x3dbdVp9bH4EU9WmJQTI4F7ca1CmX3NF9Eck9hPx6cOoCN4HdYA7Z59XpX5wKbq2s8hupBo6YbOduIw~sMMFtYMLipO9y38paqbqqboTwuETMvCvlLc8GFDLL7J6qifSV~yGCH2g4DaP8Zf8n6c2NwA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On Sept. 9 the Landmarks Preservation Commission approved, with modifications, a master plan that governs future painted wall signs for 392 West Broadway in the SoHo Cast Iron Historic District Extension, concluding that a painted wall sign at the proposed location can be compatible with the district if adjusted to staff criteria. The commission voted 8–0 to approve a ten-year master plan but required the sign be set back three feet from the primary facade, at least two feet below the roofline, reduced to no more than 20 percent coverage of the visible wall and surrounded by a solid painted border of at least two inches in black or white.
Applicant consultant Jackie Puduvalen said the proposed sign would replace a grandfathered painted sign currently on the building and that the requested new sign footprint is approximately 837 square feet — roughly 44.9 percent of the visible wall — and is intended to match an existing large sign the tenant had historically maintained. The applicant said the sign would be set back one foot from the facade as shown in the submission, but commissioners and staff noted the proposal exceeded the commission’s typical 20 percent coverage limit and lacked the traditional solid border and the usual three-foot setback from the primary facade.
Preservation groups and neighbors objected at the hearing. John Graham of the Victorian Society urged the commission not to approve the proposal as submitted, saying “This sign must not be approved” and calling for adherence to the commission’s rules on border, setback and coverage. Kaylee Johnson of the Historic Districts Council said HDC finds the proposal inappropriate and urged the applicant to follow staff-level rules. Commissioner Ginsburg moved the amended approval; Commissioner Mahan seconded. The commission’s finding cited historic precedent for painted wall signs on secondary facades but added the modifications to protect the front façade and adjacent streetscape where two painted signs would be visible in the same view.
Under the commission’s motion, the master plan will be valid for 10 years and the applicant must document each sign installed under the plan so the commission can review its effectiveness. Staff noted that because of the close proximity to an LPC-approved painted sign across the street, this application required full commission review rather than a staff-level permit. The commission’s conditions require the final painted design to include a contrasting solid border, the prescribed setbacks, and a reduction of the painted area to the commission’s typical 20 percent of the visible wall area.","The commission approved a 10-year painted wall sign master plan for 392 West Broadway in the SoHo Cast Iron Historic District extension, but required setbacks, a border and a reduction in coverage to conform with district guidelines.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5986984,"Commission approves new canopy cladding and halo-lit sign at 524 Broadway in SoHo",1035,1404000,2439000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5771068-83a273c0132104dacb077ed7076a8a5e&start=1404&end=2439","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5771068-83a273c0132104dacb077ed7076a8a5e/thumbnail_1404000.jpg","/articles/5986984/New-York-City/New-York-County/New-York/Commission-approves-new-canopy-cladding-and-halo-lit-sign-at-524-Broadway-in-SoHo","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5986984-ba6b4bb0f19ab56bf4e107527369b636/orig.mp4?Expires=1775999922&Signature=DzEHyyJDvBqjTOuDnf2r71-UnMldr3pAsvFFPWTHcVkJVIUR-rDteYe-EfoU-1axUwEDX-fSKMdA5Xb1Se4eLw9~x41QbaXGdIMBhTEnYgoNscRKiuBXaVqRz8QI8dmtYq6wSAy8tZ5NTHTcYQ4PjOmZSkMGbr-oSqVu8Jjkhxybrz-MwmdUMERjoAyvwqrrrgVjJIN1iLmxStwR5CllWCAc4qgY8jvp~5tfsQDQ~T6NK5-tDWr0q8q4kfTNnq2xR-K~qvpLF5KdMzfhtng5YxPSHzeF8rIsAOmVDm6hIafP61p1acBOEJ1~blAnKVnKtAd5X2kDPvaI2XDCCqideg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Landmarks Preservation Commission voted 8–0 on Sept. 9 to approve modifications to the entrance canopy and installation of halo-lit signage at 524 Broadway, a store-and-loft building in the SoHo Cast Iron Historic District. The work, presented as a limited alteration to an existing, commission-approved canopy, will replace the canopy’s perimeter cladding with black aluminum facials, install individually mounted, halo-lit white letters and logo on the canopy face, and apply a grayscale translucent film to five glazed canopy panels.
Julie Rosen, the project’s preservation consultant, told the commission the proposal “is limited to canopy and signage changes at the main retail entry” and that the team reduced the scale of the cladding and letters by 25 percent after staff feedback. The commission heard that the canopy is nearly 30 years old and that the proposed cladding is a mechanical attachment with no structural changes or impacts to historic fabric or existing storefront tiebacks. Rosen said a mock-up was installed to test the film that will hide accumulated debris while retaining light transmission.
Commissioners discussed drainage and the canopy’s pitch; staff and the project team confirmed a two-inch drainage gap and said the application does not change the canopy’s existing drainage function. Commissioner Michael Mahan said the proposal ‘‘increases presence, but does so in a reasonable manner’’ and found the signage well-scaled to the marquee and facade. Commissioner Mann moved the motion to approve and Commissioner Chen seconded. The commission’s finding noted that the work is limited to a previously approved canopy, that the sign and cladding would be proportionally modest in relation to the building, and that the translucent film is reversible. The motion passed with eight votes in favor and none opposed.
Manhattan Community Board 2 recommended approval. The commission’s decision leaves the existing flagpoles in place; staff clarified that flags on existing poles are being handled at the staff level. The approved signage type — halo-lit, individually mounted letters with concealed attachments — is approvable at the staff level when sited on an existing, commission-approved canopy, but in this case the canopy alteration was reviewed by the full commission because the canopy itself is being modified. The commission approved the work with attention to the reduced proportions shown in the presentation; the applicant will proceed to construction consistent with the approved drawings and with concealed electrical and attachment details.","The commission approved recladding of an existing canopy and installation of halo-lit signage at 524 Broadway in the SoHo Cast Iron Historic District, finding the changes limited in scope and reversible.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},5986990,"Landmarks panel approves rooftop bulkhead at 366 Broadway with conditions to reduce visibility",1384,16000,1400000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5771068-83a273c0132104dacb077ed7076a8a5e&start=16&end=1400","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5771068-83a273c0132104dacb077ed7076a8a5e/thumbnail_16000.jpg","/articles/5986990/New-York-City/New-York-County/New-York/Landmarks-panel-approves-rooftop-bulkhead-at-366-Broadway-with-conditions-to-reduce-visibility","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5986990-0bd6a3b7bd5d1decc2a42a89ed4a3a53/orig.mp4?Expires=1775999922&Signature=b5BNkuBLVfXZG4CqW9lZi-pjv4U2gim3L9QuHCdrkBttekFvhjevE87e-koHREXeB9JeBJAF40R9JQOTSfGRD8Jy63stn10Z2473xynkMIbHfYkOZ0P8YiKhsJFIeFOgJRAa6AIGuKtgqYPY7wpFxvdAXEsIslnIEii9i0ZCm8QOL-zTHgUi5ZfbsfMTTYQ4eaDP5BO2VV7-L6D-hpGtuqovALHSq5UOGaF2SxTE4WSATYhEtjanpJufPIzNbqS4taprcf6u8Bjz-1fFypc-O6N4Bg-wC7p4AN56w~zXoFkkklt~GhX6KU~17ts7XTjfiXEMJaZKEmiVjk0~Sm0NWQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Landmarks Preservation Commission on Sept. 9 approved a rooftop addition and enlarged bulkhead at 366 Broadway, in the Tribeca East Historic District, finding the work would be minimally visible from public ways if modified as directed. The commission voted 8–0 to approve the certificate of appropriateness with required adjustments. The application, LPC 26-00505, proposed replacing an existing shed-roof bulkhead, enclosing the footprint with windows on the north and west and sliding doors to the south, and adding a small mechanical room aligned with the building’s elevator machine room.
The approval follows discussion among commissioners and staff about massing and materials. Commissioners said the design should be adjusted to reduce its perceived bulk when viewed from the street, including moving part of the new brick mechanical wall back in line with the existing parapet and scaling down the overhang. Commissioner Daniel Chu said the move “significantly reduces the mass of that element by setting it back off the parapet.” Commissioner Wilder moved the approval with conditions, and Commissioner Chu seconded. The commission’s finding concluded that the work \"will not detract from the special architectural or historic character of Tribeca East Historic District\" if the applicant works with staff on the setback, material choice and reducing the overhang.
Applicant materials describe the building as a Beaux-Arts office structure built in 1908–09, the Broadway Textile Building, now largely residential in use. The applicant said the owner controls the top two floors where the addition would be sited; the plan retains the existing bulkhead footprint while extending vertical brick-clad walls to match an elevator machine-room wall and adding glazing. The application included a mock-up and brick specification the applicant said had been previously approved for the building. The applicant told the commission the overhang is intended to reduce solar gain on the south- and west-facing glazing.
Several commissioners expressed concern about visibility and night illumination. Staff noted the mock-up images submitted did not include the proposed overhang and that the overhang could increase visibility. Commissioner Wilder said he was not opposed in principle to the volume but questioned whether so much glazing and the proposed overhang were necessary, adding that the condition “may draw more attention with the glass, especially if it's at night.” The commission recorded that the applicant should work with staff to reduce the overhang and to set back the new mechanical-wall face where feasible.
Manhattan Community Board 1 formally recommended denial; no public speakers appeared at the hearing. The motion passed 8 in favor, none opposed. The commission approved the certificate and required the applicant to return to staff with revised drawings showing the reduced overhang and altered setback and to confirm brick and other material selections.
The commission’s approval applies to the specific rooftop configuration reviewed; any future changes to the bulkhead, additional rooftop equipment or expanded glazing would require further LPC review or a staff-level permit if the changes met staff rules. The decision preserves the commission’s finding that visible rooftop additions can be appropriate in this district when carefully scaled and detailed to minimize impacts.","The Landmarks Preservation Commission approved a rooftop addition and enlarged bulkhead at 366 Broadway in Tribeca East, subject to setbacks, material review and a reduced overhang to limit visual impact.","actionData","errors"]
