Shouldn’t take much to install it. Not sure what the relevance is between the window and the brick building… I would do it. Call me at 347-276-6528 Levi SoHoAppliances

I had just that problem and a broken thermal pane glass. Vila replaced glass and repaired springs in metal thermal pane double hungs for me. Very prompt, not expensive. I would highly recommend them.

Hey! My sister [had windows installed in her house](http://www.clerawindows.com/windows) in Ottawa. She loves them because it is easier to use and whenever she wants to catch fresh breeze, she can easily pop her windows out. It also reduces street noises. Its looks really great!

I’m with Heights Historic Window and Door in Brooklyn, we carry Loewen and Kolbe products. Loewen manufacturers a very clean, well made standard Douglas Fir product with a Mahogany upgrade. Marvin, Pella, Kolbe, etc are all standard pine, Fir is an upgrade for them. I have sold Marvin for years and I believe Loewen is a superior product. They are a smaller company and do not have the advertising/name that Marvin does, but they have been in business for over 100 years and make a very nice product. Windows aside, Our installation process is immaculate, which may be more important then the windows themselves. Give me a call if you would like an estimate 347-881-6962 Jeff

I can’t understand how anyone can aesthetically tolerate “storm” windows as a way to keep old windows. If you have these nice old windows you’ve restored, then stick a window in front of them, you can’t really see them from the outside, you have a cheaper window (can’t be two over two, etc) stuck on the house, so what’s the point. Is this really a look people like?

I think it will do easily. I have a 12kbtu unit in the parlor floor kitchen back wall. But what I did was install a 150ft3 duct fan in the false ceiling I happen to have in the in-between room, with a suction grill in the kitchen and an output grill in the living room. The fan does a great job of circulating the air, albeit at a moderate sound. I keep my rooms at 74deg and the small unit works find, even though I have probably no insulation in the walls.

I don’t. He is very reasonable and has done subsequent “door-related” work for me since.

I bought my 90 minute rated door at Lowes. Jose from Atop Locksmith went with me to purchase it and then installed it. His # is 718.986.5749.

I am suggesting that, if you can’t get LL insurance without insuring your residence as well, the two together may be cheaper than if the insurer makes you keep the more expensive homeowner’s policy (rather than a LL policy) for the building you own. I don’t know, but worth looking into it. PS I hate insurers but I see the rationale for the rule. It keeps homeowners from going cheap and getting LL policies for owner-occupied buildings.

I didn’t realize that slopefarm was suggesting that it would be cheaper to get renter insurance for my own apt + landlord insurance for the 2 FAM, than to simply get landlord insurance for the 2 FAM. I will definitely ask my agent.

But I think the advice you are getting is that you should be concerned, and that it may be both wiser and cheaper to get the package of landlord insurance (the property you own) and the renters insurance (for where you live). Unfortunately I don’t have info on the alternative you are looking for. Sorry.

I’m not as concern with lost to my own belonging for the apt that I currently live in myself. My main concern at the moment is to properly insure the 2 family that I’m renting out to others. And if my tenants want to get renters insurance themselves then that’s up to them but it would not cover damages to my 2 FAM, simply their own belongings.

I don’t know why you wouldn’t take renter’s insurance. Why take the risk? Not every loss that might occur within the apartment would be covered by your LL’s insurance, and renters insurance is not that pricey. If you were my tenant, your lease would require it. And it might be cheaper to have renter’s insurance on your residence and LL insurance on your property than to continue with homeowners’ insurance.
