This project involved the total gut rehab of a 6 story partially occupied brownstone while still maintaining essential utilities and the protection of the existing occupants. It was designed by OCV Architects and is sponsored by The Lantern Group. The work consisted of asbestos abatement, demolition, joist replacements, façade restoration, windows, roofing, framing, drywall, new electrical service and wiring, new water and sprinkler service and related piping, a new shaft and elevator that had not previously existed, new stairs and new fire escapes. The completed project will house 34 SRO’s as well as a community room, a private landscaped rear yard and support services.
