A reader brought it to our attention that the new owner of 878 President Street in Park Slope is looking for landmarks approval to alter the facade. The reader has this to say about the plans: “Apparently, they’re applying to add machinery on the roof (an a/c unit?), a roof deck, and—most importantly—five new windows on the side. That’s a lot of new windows! Also, there’s a large maple tree that’s not on the property but abuts it where the new windows are to go; are they going to be able to do all these renovations without damaging the tree?” The hearing is scheduled for September the 20th. Think this could prove controversial a la Norah Jones’ window additions in Cobble Hill? Click through for a side view of the building.
