As per LPC Docket 187649, we seek to rescind the stoop violation. T e violation consists of removing the original wooden stoop in Sept. 1983. Based on historic photo evidence, the original wooden stoop had the same proportions as the currently existing masonry one, but featured raised brown-painted ashlar block- shaped panels at the cheek walls and substantial cast-iron posts, bannisters and handrails (a standard design that can be found at many salvage yards). T e wooden stoop cannot be restored as per the current building code. We seek to legalize the existing masonry stoop by modifying the stoop such that it ter- minates and it’s proper historic height and the brick risers are concealed (with a cementi- tious coating and painted) to match the historic appearance. A similar treatment would be applied to the stoop cheek walls to bring them to an appearance resembling their

• riginal condition. Furthermore, we intend to remove the existing mild steel handrails

and replace them with cast-iron railings of a similar appearance. SCOPE OF VIOLATION
