HLPC approves single north‑facing window replacement at 58 Hunter Street (limited visibility)
Summary
The commission granted a Certificate of Appropriateness for a visible north‑facing second‑story window replacement at 58 Hunter Street, allowing a Marvin undivided casement window in ebony exterior / white interior despite limited public visibility and mixed existing window types.
The Historic Landmark Preservation Commission approved a Certificate of Appropriateness for a single north‑facing second‑story window replacement at a small worker house (referred to in the application as 58 Hunter Street) after concluding the opening has limited public visibility and that the proposed Marvin undivided casement in ebony exterior with white interior is acceptable in that context.
Staff noted the project principally affects rear and side windows that are not visible from public ways; the sole visible north‑facing window required HLPC review. The commission found the proposed unit will not materially change the district streetscape given the limited visibility and thereby granted the certificate with standard conditions: one‑year validity and requirement for building permits and further HLPC review for any material changes.
The commission discussed existing window patterns across the house (a mix of 6‑over‑6 and other sash types) and concluded limited public visibility lowered the threshold for strict replication. The applicant will install a Marvin casement unit with an exterior color of ebony and white interior finish and screen per application materials.
