Our coop in PS is replacing the cornice and repainting the exterior windows. Currently, everything is black. The building is red brick and limestone. Landmarks is saying we have to go off-white with the cornice and LIGHT GREY for the windows. I can live with the cornice color marginally but am horrified at the thought of such a radical change to the windows, which are quite lovely in black. Virtually every damn window in the entire neighborhood is black. What recourse do we have. I feel railroaded by the architectural engineering firm we’d retained to oversee the project. Thanks in advance for your advice!!
