Preserving Heritage and Elevating Safety: Facade Restoration Excellence

Revisit with Hannah Sebastian De Mayta and Raul Mayta, RA one of our favorite façade repairs, where every facet of the facade received meticulous attention, ensuring a return to its original design and materiality.

Upgraded to SAFE: #NYC DOB Façade Unit Approval

Upon project completion, we’re proud to announce the building’s #FISP status was upgraded to #SAFE and approved by the NYC DOB Façade Unit.

Comprehensive Scope of Work:

The project’s scope of work encompassed a spectrum of tasks:

Brick repointing
Replacement and repair of limestone windowsills and water tables
Replacement of cracked bricks
Replacement and waterproofing of steel lintels
Raising of low roof parapets
Restoration of the existing brick chimney

Artistry in Detail: Repointing and Custom Staining

The entire front/north facade underwent repointing, addressing mortar spalling and seamlessly erasing previous patchwork repairs along corners and lintels. Limestone sections along ground floor panels were meticulously repaired and custom stained by Michelle Quartin of Opus Architectural Arts, LLC using mineral coatings by Cathedral Stone to seamlessly blend in the new patches to the historic stone.

Craftsmanship Unveiled: Brick Centering Technique

Brick centering, a technique employed to recreate existing brick patterns along window lintels scheduled for replacement, was a key aspect of the restoration. This temporary support structure allowed precise brick placement during the restoration of arches, ensuring both strength and authenticity. Witness the artistry behind the scenes!

Consistent Elegance: Coating at Third-Floor Stone Ledge

In sections requiring repairs at the third-floor stone ledge, a new coating was applied along the main segments, delivering a consistent finished appearance that resonates with timeless elegance.
