So here is my question of the day. Is there any way to deter the DOB from issuing a permit to modify an extension on to a house based on quality of life issues? One of my neighbors plans on taking an existing extension, built about 75 years ago (It’s small and not a big deal) and plan on rebuilding this exention to span across the back of the brownstone 2 stories high hence blocking light out of my back windows next door. It will jet out about 14 feet from the existing wall. I also am trying the old “please don’t do this it will ruin my kitchen and leave us in the dark” methodology. It will also probaly mean the movement of my rosebushes etc.
