What's Up with 200 Adelphi Street?
As far as we can tell, there’s a big renovation going on at the rear of this corner brownstone at 200 Adelphi Street. More noteworthy, perhaps, is the odd semi-circular appendage that’s been tacked onto the side of the house in the vacant lot next door. There’s nothing in the permits that we can see…

There’s nothing in the permits that we can see that mentions this side addition. Another oddity: PropertyShark lists this 5,600-square-foot property as having 20 units. How’s that possible?

I live next to this house – the owners really do take great care of it – landscaping always looks great and never any crap on the sidewalks around it – always a huge bouquet of flowers on the table in the entryway – very nice property.
Oh, well, if it’s not landmarked, I guess they could legally build a round addition. And it looks like it’s made of nice materials. It just doesn’t make any sense, design-wise. Whatevs.
12:25 is correct, I am looking at my trusty NYC Landmarks (third edition) and the historic district does not cross Willoughby here. That is why they were able to build that quite odd, out-of-scale porch. Still, the rest of the house looks pristine and considering what they could have done instead, the community owes the owners a round of applause.
But if property values keep skyrocketing, the whole house could be torn done next year and replaced with a highrise.
FAB! love that extension – looks like theres a nice garden too. WOW!
Damn…not landmarked! Wonderful.
Attention Landmark Nazi’s! This property is not landmarked. It’s on the unlandmarked side of Willoughby.
Additionally, the lot is 50 by 102 ft. So there is no vacant lot next door.
I think owners of homes should be allowed to do what they want with them. Afterall, they put their money and effort into the house.People need to mind their own business.Life would be less stressful.Who cares what is being done to the back of their home?
This place has permits in place and is outside of the Landmark District. What’s the problem?
I like it too Mrs. Limestone.
