Planning board approves historic-style window repairs at 123 William St., refers contractor violation to code enforcement
Summary
The board approved a certificate of appropriateness for one-over-one window repairs at 123 William St., referred concerns about unpermitted contractor work to code enforcement, and declared the action a Type 2 SEQRA matter for rehabilitation and green infrastructure.
The Village of Catskill Planning Board approved window repairs at 123 William St. on Aug. 25, 2025, authorizing replacement with one-over-one windows to preserve the property’s historic appearance and referring a potential contractor code violation to code enforcement.
Applicant Robin Golinski, contracting with Lowe’s, described work to address poor property conditions and safety concerns. The board cited Section 12.3 of the zoning code, which states that a contractor who proceeds without the required building permit may be guilty of a violation and subject to penalties under Section 12.2.
Anthony Petrianni moved to refer possible violations to code enforcement; the board approved repairing windows as a certificate of appropriateness, with Jay Lesenger moving the approval and Michele Pulver seconding. The board also declared lead agency status and categorized the action as a Type 2 under paragraphs 2 and 3—rehabilitation and incorporation of green infrastructure—indicating limited environmental review is required.
Staff will document the approved window configuration (1-over-1) and follow up on any unresolved permitting or code-enforcement matters.
