Do I really need a permit for a new door?
I just bought in a landmarked area (Crown Heights North) and want to replace the door, which is basically plywood and looks terrible. My wife called the landmarks people or whoever in the city and learned it was a six week process, lots of paperwork, approvals, etc. Is it a good idea just to buy a new tasteful door, in keeping with the other doors on the block, and avoid the whole permit process? What have others done?
Also, where is a good place to look for doors, online or in Brooklyn? Thanks
