Description

There was a new roof, painting, and chimney replacement done at this property in the past few weeks but no Permits taken out and more importantly no review performed by the Historical Dept. before any work was done. The paint colors are horrendous and hideous, the color of the roof would not have been approved had it been submitted. The purpose of the Historical Dept. is to insure that historic properties and neighborhoods maintain continuity and not changed any old way as this property is/was. In addition, the iron fence is 7 feet high which is not acceptable in a residential zone. The horrible colors of the house are not in keeping with historical standards and should be put before the Historical Dept. so they are made to look like they belong to a Victorian house, such as is the case on Columbia Street and others. When homeowners do this it destroys neighborhoods.
