Board approves storefront relocation at 31457 Brampton Avenue with finish and signage conditions

The local review board approved a certificate of appropriateness for tenant and storefront alterations at 31457 Brampton Avenue, an application by owner Adrian Sullivan and represented by Shahid Badali and a lead designer identified as Kevin. The approval covered interior occupancy changes and an exterior storefront alteration that relocates the main entrance within the storefront run; the board’s approval included conditions for exterior finishes and future signage submissions.

Board members emphasized consistency with historic façade elements: they directed that the relocated storefront doors and window frames use a silver finish to match the existing marble and metal panels, recommended polishing and restoration of the existing marble surround, and asked the applicant to return with a proposed sign package (the board suggested white or silver die‑cut metal letters as an example). The board and the applicant discussed preserving the marble element above the door and keeping finishes consistent across the storefront to respect the building’s historic character.

The motion to approve with these conditions passed by voice vote; transcript records “Aye” from members but does not include a roll‑call tally or full mover/second names. The board noted tenants will return with final sign details and cut sheets for windows and doors as part of the follow‑up process. The board did not place other design restrictions beyond finish consistency and the requirement to submit signage for review.
