Downzone it if you want, or even landmark, but don't single family. That discriminates against middle-income homeowners who need a 2nd or 3rd unit to help with the mortgage. Or aging homeowners who want to downsize but stay in place and convert part of the house to a 2nd unit. That should happen more in NYC but various regulations make it difficult.

I'm not a lawyer, but I THINK that if the zoning is changed (as it was was Lefferts Manor c. 1961) any other use already in place would be grandfathered in.Bob Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734112800580467028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-16967128525198427772016-10-13T16:37:27.373-04:002016-10-13T16:37:27.373-04:00So..if Fenimore II enforces the single family deed...So..if Fenimore II enforces the single family deed covenant does that mean they would kick out everybody living in a multifamily house? Isn't there a church on that block too? <br />For all of the beauty of Lefferts Manor, I am not too keen on expanding the single family covenant. What do people do with those 4000 sq ft 6 bedroom triple parlor single family houses anyway? Even in Park Slope every self respecting rich person with a brownstone has a garden level apartment that the au pair can live in. <br />BTW I thought it was the McDonalds that was dividing their lot, no?Jacobnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1541468051247516447.post-63275996956762566872016-10-13T10:27:52.244-04:002016-10-13T10:27:52.244-04:00Whaddayah know...

Residents of Fenimore II discovered documentation showing that the south side of their block has single family deed covenants, similar to the Lefferts Manor Covenant that covers the north side. Parkside I has some of the most outstanding architecture to be found anywhere in the City. Still, there are a few more blocks that were in the original PLG proposed Historic District that were inexplicably left out and . IMO, should be landmarked; not a huge number–no sane preservationist thinks you can, or should, landmark EVERYTHING (or at least realizes that it wouldn't be politick to attempt to do so).Bob Marvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12734112800580467028noreply@blogger.com
