Fence restrictions. Landmarks? Height? Material?

There is just too much relevant information here for Brownstoners not to discuss. As of yet, no comment from Landmarks (maybe they are considering allowing white plastic fences across the front of homes now). I’m pretty sure the height is a violation. Is there a code for proper footings? And what about fire code? Is the height tied to fire code? http://nypost.com/2014/12/13/de-blasio-never-got-construction-permits-for-new-gracie-mansion-fence/

ugly to add this to historic property such as this house.

Fences over 6 feet in height do require a permit.

Pig3, It’s not in Brooklyn, so it is none of our concern. 😉

That’s pretty hideous, but seems fitting to this mayor.
