HPC lists administrative approvals, schedules site visits for 535 East Cooper violation
Summary
HPC staff reported multiple administrative approvals including work at 635 West Bleecker and 1096 Waters, and described remediation and site-visit conditions for a violation at 535 East Cooper after paint-removal damage to brick; staff will perform follow-up inspections.
HPC staff presented a set of administrative approvals and compliance actions at the meeting, including approvals for a structural ridge beam at 635 West Bleecker and exterior changes at 1096 Waters. Staff flagged a compliance action at 535 East Cooper that resulted from power washing and paint removal that damaged brick; the commission approved a remediation approach and required staff site visits to confirm appropriate repair.
"We did have 1 approval for 635 West Bleecker Street Garage," HPC staff reported while summarizing the certificate-of-no-negative-effect approvals. For 535 East Cooper staff said the approval includes repair and replacement of damaged brick, resetting of historic pavers in the right-of-way area, and removal of a concrete pad to be replaced with historic brick pavers. Staff noted conditions requiring in-person inspections to ensure proper removal and repainting practices.
Other administrative items included non-historic window replacements and modest exterior work in the district; monitors were assigned for several properties with conditions such as matching historic mortar and approval of mockups before work proceeds. Staff said these approvals were primarily 'administrative' and would not be routed to council unless called up.
