Project Highlights

Scope of Project: Complete restoration of the 72nd Street and Park Avenue facades and partial restoration of the remaining facades. The façade restoration includes cleaning, cutting and pointing of mortar, terracotta ornamentation replacement with precast, replacement of sills and lintels, and window restoration.

FSI’s Involvement: FSI coordinated work with the NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission. Our office conducted close-up hands-on surveys of all facades to determine the scope of work and prepare construction documents. FSI specified all of the materials and is managed the complete facade restoration.

The project received the 2019 Exterior Restoration Award from Friends of the Upper East Side Historic Districts (www.friends-ues.org)
