Pursuant to Section 25-307 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, at the Public Meeting of May 13, 2008, following the Public Hearing and Public Meeting of April 8, 2008, voted to approve certain alterations at the subject premises, as put forward in your application completed on March 13, 2008. The approval will expire on May 13, 2014. The proposed work, as approved, consists of the construction of a two story glass and sculpted wood rear yard addition at the basement and first floor, the construction of a new glass and wood rear façade at the second floor, and the raising and reconstruction of the brick rear façade and corbelled brick cornice at the third floor; as shown in unlabeled presentation boards, dated 5/13/08, prepared by Winka Dubbledam, submitted as components of the application, and presented at the May 13, 2008 Public Meeting. The proposal, as originally presented, included constructing a glass and sculpted wood rear façade at the second and third floors. In reviewing this proposal, the Commission noted that the designation report describes 451 West 24th Street as a transitional Greek Revival/Italianate rowhouse built in 1849-50. With regard to this proposal, the Commission found that the removal of the rear façade at the basement, first and second floors will not result in the destruction of any significant architectural features; that the proposed modern rear façade and rear yard addition will not be visible from any public thoroughfare; that the proposed rear yard addition will not extend to the rear lot line or substantially eliminate the presence of a rear yard and will retain the scale and character of an individual rowhouse; that the historic brick corbelled cornice will be reinstalled after slightly raising the roofline to match the neighboring building; and that the floor of the rear facade and extension of the window openings at the top floor will retain the scale, configuration, and character of the historic facade. Based on these findings, the Commission determined the proposed work to be appropriate to the Landmark, and voted to approve this application. However, the Commission made its determination subject to the stipulation that two signed and sealed copies of the Department of Buildings drawings for the approved work be submitted for review and approval. Subsequently, on June 5, 2008 and July 3, 2008, the Landmarks Preservation Commission received final drawings A0.0, D1.0, D1.1, D1.2, A1.0, A1.1, A1.2, A2.0, A3.0, A4.1, A4.2, A4.3, A4.4, A4.12, A4.13, A5.1, A5.2, A6.1, A6.2, A6.3, A6.4, A6.5, A6.6, A6.7, A6.10, A6.11, A7.0, A7.1, A8.1, A8.2, A8.3, and A8.4, dated 6/3/08, drawings A4.10 and A4.11, dated 6/30/08, all prepared by Randall P. Collins, R.A.; drawings H-101, H-102, H-103, and H-201, dated 2/22/08, drawings H-202, H-203, H-204, P-103, P-201, P-202, and P-205, dated 2/19/08, and drawings H-205, P-101, and P-102, dated 2/21/08, all prepared by Stanislav Slutsky, P.E.; drawings S1.0, S1.1, S1.2, S2.0, S2.1, and S2.2, dated 1/3/08, prepared by Chris Anastos, P.E. Accordingly, staff 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 09-1666 is being issued. Please note that this permit is being issued in conjunction with Certificate of No Effect 09-1739 (LPC 09-1798).

Other work or amendments to this filing must be reviewed and approved separately.
