Pursuant to Section 25-307 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, at the Public Meeting of March 5, 2002, following the Public Hearing of February 26, 2002, voted to grant a Certificate of Appropriateness for proposed work at the subject premises as put forward in your application completed on January 24, 2002. This approval will expire on March 5, 2008.

The proposal, as approved, consists of installing two anodized-bronze finished flag poles, one on either side of the main entrance that will project 6' 10" from the facade as shown on two presentation boards with historic and contemporary photographs, specifications, section and elevation drawings, prepared by Carlo Zaskorski, architect, and presented at the Public Hearing and Public Meeting.

In reviewing this proposal, the Commission notes that the designation report for the Rodin Studios states that 200 West 57th Street is a polychromatic brick and terra-cotta, French Renaissance style studio building designed by and built in 1916-17.

With regard to this proposal, the Commission found that the proposed flag poles will not be mounted in historic material; that the length of the proposed flag poles is well proportioned to the scale of this building; and that the proposed installation will not diminish the special architectural and historic character of the building. Based on these findings, the Commission determined that the proposed work will be appropriate to this Individual Landmark and voted to approve the work.

However, in voting to grant this approval, the Commission made its determination subject to the stipulation that a reduced copy of the presentation boards and two copies of the final, signed and sealed drawings which are to be filed with the Department of Buildings, be submitted to the Commission for review and approval. Subsequently, on May 20, 2002, the Commission received the final drawings A-1 and A-2 dated February 12, 2002, prepared by Carlo Zaskorski, architect. Accordingly, the staff of 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 have been marked approved with a perforated seal and Certificate of Appropriateness 02- 7513, 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 James Dillon.
