Project Highlights

Scope of Project: The project was commissioned to FSI as a restoration of the four exterior facades and roof replacement. Specifications in the scope included removal of damaged brick from all facades, complete repointing of all the mortar joints, replacement of wood windows and cladded lintels and the reconstruction of parapets. 

FSI's Involvement: FSI prepared construction documents detailing the restoration of the facades and roof replacement. The firm worked closely with NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission and was able to replicate the Italianate wood cornice on the front facade. Chimneys and flues were reconstructed, new skylights and access panel installed and new guardrails, not visible from the street, were added on the roof in order to comply with current code requirements.
