| Text | Pursuant to Section 25-307 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, at the Public Meeting of September 19, 2006, following the Public Hearing and Public Meeting of May 23, 2006, the Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to approve a proposal to construct a rooftop addition and the replacement of the historic window sashes throughout the building with painted aluminum sashes, as put forward in your application completed on April 27, 2006. The approval will expire on September 19, 2012. The proposed work, as approved, consists of the construction of a rooftop addition; exterior work at the 23rd Street, 24th Street, and Fifth Avenue facades, including the removal of single-pane bronze-clad wood pivot windows at the second floor and replacement with single-pane aluminum tilt-and-turn windows painted Benjamin Moore 1582 ("Deep River") at the second floor; removal of one-over-one, double-hung bronze-clad wood windows and replacement with one-over-one, double-hung aluminum windows painted Benjamin Moore 1582 ( "Deep River") at the third through thirteenth floors; removal of bronze-clad wood double-hung windows in an arched tripartite configuration with aluminum one-over-one double-hung windows in an arched tripartite configuration painted Benjamin Moore 1582 ( "Deep River") at the fourteenth floor; exterior work at visible and non-visible portions of the interior courtyard elevations, including removal of one-over-one, double-hung bronze-clad wood windows and replacement with one-over-one, double-hung aluminum windows painted Benjamin Moore 1582 ("Deep River") at the second through fifteenth floors; exterior work at visible and non-visible portions of the west elevation, including removal of one-over-one, double-hung bronze-clad wood windows and replacement with one-over-one, double-hung aluminum windows painted Benjamin Moore 1582 ("Deep River") at the third through fourteenth floors and penthouse; as shown in a finish sample, existing conditions photographs and drawings labeled LP.01, LP.02, LP.02M, LP.03, LP.03M, LP.04, LP.04M, LP.05, LP.05M, LP.06, LP.06M, LP.07, LP.07M, LP.08, LP.09, LP.09M, LP.11, LP.11M, LP.12, LP.12M, L.12, L.13, L.14 through L.17, L.21 through L.26, L.41 through L.43, L.81 through L.85, dated September 19, 2006, prepared by Avinash K Malhotra Architects and Higgins & Quasebarth, submitted as components of the application, and presented at the Public Hearing and the Public Meeting. In reviewing this proposal, the Commission noted that 200 Fifth Avenue is a neo-Renaissance style store and office building built in 1908-09, designed by Maynicke and Franke; and that the style, scale, materials and details of the building are among the features that contribute to the special architectural and historic character of the Ladies' Mile Historic District. With regard to this proposal, the Commission finds, that the historic copper window framing will be retained and that the new sashes will match the historic sashes in terms of configuration, details, color, and operation. Based on these findings, the Commission determined the proposed work to be appropriate to the building and to the Madison Square North Historic District. The work, therefore, is approved. However, in voting to grant this approval, the Commission stipulated that two final signed and sealed copies of the Department of Buildings filing drawings for the approved work be submitted to the staff of the Commission for review and approval. Subsequently, on February 19, 2008, the Landmarks Preservation Commission received final drawings labeled A3.00X, A3.00, A3.01X, A3.01, A3.02X, A3.02, A3.03X, A3.03, A3.04X, A3.04, A3.05X, A3.05, A6.20 through A6.24, and A7.00, dated revised February 13, 2008, and prepared by Todd C. Degarmo, R.A. Accordingly, staff reviewed the drawings and found that the proposal has been amended to eliminate the proposed rooftop addition from the scope of work. The Commission reviewed the drawings and found that the proposal approved by the Commission has been maintained. Based on this and the above findings, the drawings are marked approved with a perforated seal, and Certificate of Appropriateness 08-7660 is being issued. This permit is issued on the basis of the building and site conditions described in the application and disclosed during the review process. By accepting this permit, the applicant agrees to notify the Commission if the actual building or site conditions vary or if original or historic building fabric is discovered. The Commission reserves the right to amend or revoke this permit, upon written notice to the applicant, in the event that the actual building or site conditions are materially different from those described in the application or disclosed during the review process. All approved drawings are marked approved by the Commission with a perforated seal indicating the date of approval. The work is limited to what is contained in the perforated documents. Other work or amendments to this filing must be reviewed and approved separately. The applicant is hereby put on notice that performing or maintaining any work not explicitly authorized by this permit may make the applicant liable for criminal and/or civil penalties, including imprisonment and fines. This letter constitutes the permit; a copy must be prominently displayed at the site while work is in progress. Please direct inquiries to Blaire Walsh. Robert B.
