Permit Certificate of Appropriateness THE NEW YORK CITY LANDMARKS PRESERVATION COMMISSION 1 CENTRE STREET 9TH FLOOR NORTH NEW YORK NY 10007 TEL: 212 669-7700 FAX: 212 669-7780 PERMIT CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS ISSUE DATE: EXPIRATION DATE: DOCKET #: COFA 08/22/16 5/3/2022 LPC-18-7018 COFA-19-1570 ADDRESS: BOROUGH: BLOCK/LOT: 25 EAST 64TH STREET Manhattan 1379 / 115 Upper East Side Historic District Display This Permit While Work Is In Progress ISSUED TO: Guy Wildenstein 740 Madison SPE., LLC. 19 East 64th Street New York, NY 10065 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 3, 2016, following the Public Hearing of the same date, voted to approve the proposed work at the subject premises, as put forward in your application completed April 7, 2016 and as you were notified in Status Update Letter 18-5409 (LPC 18-2750), issued May 3, 2016. This approval will expire May 3, 2022. The proposed work, as approved, consists of the construction of a stucco clad elevator bulkhead at the roof, as shown in existing conditions photographs; a color rendering of proposed bulkhead; and drawings labeled T-000.00 through T-003.00, A-100.00, A-101.00, A-801.00, A-802.00 through A-808.00, A-812.00 through A-815.00, dated (revised) May 3, 2016, all prepared by design republic, submitted digitally as components of the application, and presented at the Public Meeting and Public Hearing. In reviewing this proposal, the Commission notes that the Upper East Side Historic District Designation Report describes 25 East 64th Street as an Italianate style rowhouse designed by John G. Prague, built in 1879-80 and altered in 1919 and 1926; that the building’s style, scale, materials, and details are among the features that contribute to the special architectural and historic character of the Upper East Side Historic District. The Commission also notes that this application is related to a larger project for work combining 25 East 64th Street with 740 Madison Avenue and and 23 East 64th Street; and that Certificate of Appropriateness 16-4650 was issued December 10, 2014 for storefront and facade alterations and construction of additions; and Certificate of No Effect 18-7993 (LPC 16-8643) was issued July 8, 2016 for signage and awning installation and interior alterations. With regard to this proposal, the Commission found that the construction of the proposed elevator bulkhead will not result in damage to or demolition of any significant architectural features; that the neutral stucco cladding will help the bulkhead to recede from view; that although the proposed rooftop bulkhead will be visible from the south along Madison Avenue, it will be set back approximately 20' from the front façade, abutting and finished to blend with the taller visible decorative chimney at the adjacent 740 Madison Avenue, and will be seen in the context of a complex roofscape with other existing bulkheads and mechanical equipment; and that the presence of this additional bulkhead will not detract from the special historic and architectural character of the building or the historic district. Based on these findings, the Commission determined the proposed work to be appropriate to the building and the historic district, and voted to approve it. However, in voting to grant this approval, the Commission required 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 June 10, 2016, the Landmarks Preservation Commission received final drawings labeled T- 100.00, T-101.00, G-001.00, G-002.00, G-003.00, G-004.00, G-005.00, G-006.00, G-007.00, G-008.00, G- 009.00, G-010.00, G-011.00, EG-100.00, DM-100.00, DM-101.00, DM-102.00, DM-103.00, DM-104.00, DM-105.00, DM-106.00, B-100.00, A-100.00, A-101.00, A-102.00, A-103.00, A-104.00, A-105.00 , A- 106.00, A-110.00, A-111.00, A-112.00, A-113.00, A-114.00, A-115.00, A-116.00, A-130.00, A-131.00 , A- 132.00, A-200.00 , A-201.00, A-202.00, A-203.00, A-204.00, A-205.00, A-206.00, A-221.00, A-222.00, A- 223.00, A-224.00, A-225.00, A-250.00, A-300.00, A-301.00, A-302.00, A-303.00, A-304.00, A-305.00, A- 400.00, A-401.00, A-402.00, A-403.00, A-404.00, A-405.00, A-420.00, A-500.00, A-501.00, A-502.00, A- 503.00, A-504.00, A-505.00, A-600.00, A-601.00, A-602.00 , A-603.00, A-604.00, A-610.00, A-611.00, A- 612.00, A-700.00, A-701.00, A-702.00, A-710.00, A-711.00, A-712.00, A-713.00, A-714.00, A-715.00, A- 720.00, A-730.00, A-731.00, A-732.00, A-733.00, A-740.00, A-741.00, A-742.00, A-743.00, A-750.00 , A- 751.00, A-752.00 , A-753.00 , A-760.00, A-770.00, A-771.00, A-801.00, A-802.00, A-803.00, A-804.00, A- 805.00, A-806.00, A-807.00, A-808.00, A-809.00, A-810.00, A-900.00, A-920.00, A-921.00, A-922.00, A- 923.00, A-924.00, A-950.00, A-951.00, dated (revised) March 4, 2016, prepared by Barry Michael Ludlow, R.A., M-100.00, M-101.00, M-102.00, M-103.00, M-200.00, M-201.00, M-202.00, M-203.00, M-204.00, M- 205.00, M-206.00, M-300.0, M-301.00, M-302.00, M-303.00, M-304.00, M-305.00, M-306.00, M-307.00, M-308.00, M-400.00, M-401.00, M-402.00, M-403.00, M-404.00, M-405.00, M-406.00, M-500.00, M- 501.00, M-502.00, M-600.00, M-601.00, M-602.00, M-603.00, M-604.00, M-605.00, M-606.00, M-607.00, M-700.00, M-701.00, M-702.00 dated March 4, 2016, E-100.00, E-200.00, E-300.00, E-301.00, E-302.00, E- 303.00, E-304.00, E-305.00, E-306.00, E-307.00, E-308.00, E-309.00, E-310.00, E-400.00, E-401.00, E- 402.00, E-403.00, E-404.00, E-405.00, E-406.00, E-600.00, E-601.00, E-602.00, E-603.00, E-604.00, E- 900.00, EN-100.00, EN-101.00, P-100.00, P-101.00, P-200.00, P-201.00, P-202.00, P-203.00, P-204.00, SP- 100.00, SP-101.00, SP-200.00, SP-201.00, SP-202.00, SP-203.00, SP-204.00, SP-205.00, SP-206.00, SP- 300.00, SP-301.00, SP-302.00, SP-303.00, SP-304.00, SP-305.00, FA-100.00, FA-101.00, FA-200.00, FA- 201.00, FA-202.00, FA-203.00, FA-204.00, FA-205.00, FA-206.00, FO-100.00, S-001.00, S-101.00, S- 102.00, S-103.00, S-104.00, S-105.00, S-106.00, S-200.00, dated March 4, 2016, prepared by David Rosini, P.E.

    THE PennsylvanialMagazine OF HISTORY AND BIOGRAPHY Horace Trumbauer: A Life in Architecture IXT ITHIN MONTHS after g legal age, Horace Trumbauer pened his architectural office in Philadelphia. Before he died V in his native city nearly ha a century later, he had brought forth well over a thousand works. Remembered best for his mansions, he in fact devised buildings and alterations of virtually every size and purpose. Most stand in Philadelphia or its suburbs, although structures north to Maine and south to Florida, west to Colorado and east to England make him far from a local architect. While he had many gifted employees, their purpose was to carry out his intentions. Today he ranks as Phiadelphia's representative among the top tier of American architects of the Gilded Age. His life was dosely interwoven with the opulent era of architecture through which he lived. Born soon after the Civil War, the boy grew up in a nation freshly emerged as a world power, whose architects cast aside regional customs in favor of historic styles firmly within the European mainstream. Europe's own use of such styles had grown overly mannered so that the United States now led in architecture no less than in industry. First fruits of this period were still arising when Horace quit school at age fourteen to apprentice at an architectural firm. Going on his own in 1890, the twenty-one-year-old won instant approval from prosperous clients.

    Manhattan Offi ce Market 3 RD QUARTER 2019 REPORT A NEWS RECAP AND MARKET SNAPSHOT Pictured: 380 Second Avenue Looking Ahead New Letter-Grade Energy Ratings Requirement for NYC Buildings The bill proposed in 2017 as part of a “package of quality-of-life” measure was reportedly enacted by Mayor de Blasio on January 8, 2018. Local Law 33 is the latest initiative to reduce greenhouse emissions and increase the energy effi ciency of large and mid-sized New York City buildings. Beginning January 2020, city-owned buildings larger than 10,000 square feet and all other commercial and residential buildings over 25,000 square feet will be required to display energy effi ciency grades near a public entrance, reportedly expanding upon Local 84 of 2009, which requires the submission of annual energy and water consumption benchmark data. Ranging from “A” to “F,” the letter grades will be based on the United States Department of Energy’s Energy Star score. Rating Required Score Rating Required Score “A” 85 or higher “C” 55 or higher “B” 70 or higher “D” Less than 55 “F” if information not submitted by owner to the city “N” if not feasible to obtain a score, however the city plans to audit the information submitted for the ranking Response to the new law has been mixed, with some suggesting last year that the “system may need to provide exemptions for those buildings with historical designations that may be prohibited from completing certain upgrades.” Proponents of the bill believe it will help push the city’s building owners to reduce energy usage and carbon emissions as intended.
