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 #: 02/03/2011 01/25/2016 11-4791 COFA 11-4852 ADDRESS BOROUGH: BLOCK/LOT: 175 WEST BROADWAY INDIVIDUAL LANDMARK 175 WEST BROADWAY BUILDING MANHATTAN 176/14 Display This Permit While Work Is In Progress ISSUED TO: Giuseppe Anzalone 175 West Broadway Realty Corp. 175 West Broadway New York, NY 10013 Pursuant to Section 25-307 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the Landmarks Preservation Commission, at the Public Meeting of November 23, 2010, following the Public Hearing of the same date, voted to approve a proposal to install a painted wall sign, as put forward in your application completed October 28, 2010, as you were informed in Status Update Letter 11-4583 (LPC 11-0379) issued November 29, 2010. This approval will expire November 23, 2016. The proposed work, as approved, consists of painting a wall sign measuring 23' x 8' at the northern exposed brick secondary elevation, featuring the colors black, white, and gray (Benjamin Moore Black #2132-10, White Snow #OC-64, and Pilgrim Haze #2132-50) and the reading "New York Design Architects, est. 1996, www.newyorkdesign.com"; as shown in historic photographs, existing condition photographs, and a drawing labeled A-070.00, dated October 27, 2010, prepared by Joseph J. Smerina, R.A., and presented to the Commission at the Public Hearing. In reviewing this proposal, the Commission noted that the 175 West Broadway Building Individual Landmark designation report describes 175 West Broadway as a commercial building designed by Scott and Umbach and built in 1877. With regard to the proposal, the Commission found that the placement of the proposed painted wall sign on the plain brick secondary facade will not obscure or cause damage to any significant architectural features of the building; that historically there was a wall sign at this location on the building and that the proposed wall sign is consistent with this historic precedent; that the sign's location on a secondary facade and its painted application will be in keeping with the signs traditionally found on secondary facades on industrial and commercial buildings of this style and age; that the placement of the proposed painted wall sign pulled back from the edges of the building, and not extending over any lot-line windows, will be in keeping with painted wall signs traditionally found on commercial buildings of this style and age; and that the sign consists of completely of black and white text which is typical of historic wall signs and will not call undue attention to itself. Based on these findings, the Commission determined the proposed work to be appropriate to the building and voted to approve this application. However, in voting to grant the approval, the Commission stipulated that the painted wall sign be set back 5 feet from the primary elevation and from the top of the parapet, and that two signed and sealed copies of the final Department of Buildings filing drawings be submitted to the staff of the Commission for review and approval. Subsequently, on January 21, 2011 the Landmarks Preservation Commission received a final labeled A-010.01, dated revised January 20, 2011, and prepared by Joseph J. Smerina, R.A. Staff reviewed the drawings and found that the work approved by the Commission has been maintained. Based on the above findings, the drawings are marked approved, and Certificate of Appropriateness 11-4852 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.
