Applicant reports completion of window restoration at Lens/Lips building; commission accepts work
Summary
Applicant for the Lens/Lips building (119 W. Oklahoma Ave., HPC 25‑010) presented before-and-after photos showing window restoration; the commission accepted the work as meeting minimum‑maintenance requirements.
The commission accepted a progress report and photographic evidence that restoration work at the Lens/Lips building (119 W. Oklahoma Ave.; HPC 25‑010) is complete and meets the minimum‑maintenance standard.
The applicant presented packet photos showing before and after conditions, documented removal of heavy window weights that were allowing moisture intrusion, and described the careful, slow removal and rehabilitation of large historic windows. The applicant stated the work on the project is "100% complete" and walked commissioners through several pages of before/after images; the commission thanked the applicant and accepted the completion report.
Why it matters: Acceptance of completion removes the building from the commission’s minimum‑maintenance watch list and recognizes substantial hands‑on rehabilitation of large historic windows, reducing near‑term maintenance liabilities for the streetscape.
What’s next: No further action by the commission was required; the applicant may pursue additional filings if desired.
