Commission approves modest two‑story rear addition for 162 Dean Street
Summary
Architects won approval for a two‑story rear addition and second‑floor terrace at 162 Dean Street in the Barham Hill Historic District; the Brooklyn Community Board recommended approval conditioned on a privacy screening agreement with a neighbor.
The Commission approved a two‑story rear‑yard addition at 162 Dean Street (LPC‑26‑05944) in the Barham Hill Historic District after the project's architect, William Augustino, said the proposed addition "will not be visible from a public street" and would retain the house's two‑family use. He told commissioners the design uses materials and window patterns consistent with the row and that the new terrace includes a green roof and planter.
Brooklyn Community Board 2's land‑use committee recommended approval conditioned on a privacy‑screening wall and an access agreement; the applicant said the owner has been discussing privacy concerns with the neighbor. Commissioners found the addition modest and appropriate and approved the application, noting staff review of the screening detail.
