Fascinating that either of those 8th St. blocks falls outside the historic district, and therefore a visible rooftop addition does not violate Landmarks restrictions.
My money sez no way. Brownstones can’t bear that kind of weight. Unless someone retrofitted new steel all the way up through the building. And if they wanted to drop that kind of money, wouldn’t they seek out an easier building to begin with?
MrH, LMAO!!!

8th street b/t 8th avenue and 6th avenue. ( I think it was above 7th, but I’m not certain)
my guess is that it’s just a penthouse addition with a ladder to a roof deck on top. see the shrubbery?
Or address and we can look it up on the DOB website.
street/cross street please
