We’re looking to make minor alterations to the ground-floor rear-facing windows of our landmark brownstone co-op in Brooklyn Heights.

All that we’d like to do is have three door-sized glass panel windows (two fixed windows, one functioning door to the yard). Currently, there is a solid door, an eye-level window, and brick in between the two. The yard and exterior wall are not accessible nor can they be seen from the street, so the only exposure to this area is via the neighbors.

What sort of landmark approval, if any, would people recommend? If someone could please offer advice for this process, we’d appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!
