Windowns in Landmark Building?
I need to replace the 3 front windows in the garden apt. in my building...Is this a scary process b/c of the landmark commission, or will it necessarily cost me more b/c of the landmark statis?
Thx!

I just did the same project and the window vendor (EZ Tilt) handled the lanmark approval and pulled the permit. It cost me an add'l $1500 but it was worth it to avoid the hassle.

I used Air-flo and they took care of everything also.

Had very bad experience with Air-Flow, specially the
installation. My two neighbors unfortunately had
the same bad experience. Their windows never worked properly. I thought I should share it.

I did two windows with Air-Flo and will never do it again.

"Scary" is relative. If you hire an architect, they can guide you through the process (which is relatively painless). I assume you are intending to replace the windows with historically correct windows in any case (regardless of the LPC issue). The only cumbersome issue is that LPC takes their time reviewing things, and no one can control that. If you do this without LPC approval, they may (however unlikely) fine you.
