Landmark ADA Renovation Project The main goal in the Approval and Procedures course project is to locate a Landmark building in New York City and bring it into design development for ADA accessibility using without altering or affecting the building itself. During the thought and research process in landmark buildings around the New York City area, we decided to go with Brooklyn DOB due to the close proximity. We are from Brooklyn and go to school in the same borough so we figured it would be pretty easy commute. From the research, we found a number of sites around the park slope neighborhood that were classified as landmark. We had about 5 or 6 buildings, which were in the same area. Only one ended up having good enough work to get copies. We went to the Brooklyn DOB and asked a few people how it was in other boroughs, it seems that Brooklyn is more laid back, and helpful. The building is located on 567 1st Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215 and its style is the same repetitious style that most of the buildings have on the street block.

So upon arrival at the building, everyone is required to go through metal detectors, we had to open up our book bags and remove all of the items inside of it. So once we got to the 8th floor, we ended up skipping information center booth thinking it was nice and fast but it wasn’t.

We ended up getting really frustrated because we were used to every public NYC office to guide us into the right direction. We ended up going with the property profile sheet that was printed from home and the guy working in the microfilm/folder told us that we needed more research such as job numbers. We turned around and said, “man, we should go home, and come back

another day, this is too much work”. But then we called a few friends from school with past experiences at DOB offices, in order to understand how the system works, it was no help, there was still confusion. We ended up going back to the information center and told them we needed floor plans for a school project and they gave us a Record Request form and a call number slip.

The form required us to look up the building and search for a job number in order to get some sort of floor plans and/or elevations. We went back into the microfilm/folder room and sat down to wait. Finally the number rang and we got up to the window, showed them the slip and form filled out with block and lot numbers. The man at the window sent us to the microfilm/folder window again, and we showed him it and boom before we knew it he went searching for the folders and microfilm and there we had it, in our precious hands clear and understandable floor plans. There was only one folder that he could find for us, the other addresses we tried were not on-location but rather off-site. The guy seemed to be annoyed, but he saw us struggling to get something. We looked through them and told him we needed copies of all 6 pages of the architects stamped drawings. We were restricted to only 3 free copies, but the guy ended up giving us all 6 copies due to our puppy faces and didn’t charge us a penny for it. We asked him his name, just in case we needed to return back to the DOB sometime, he replied with Jamie. We weren’t even asked for state identification or license, while we looked through the plans.

We decided to go with the Park Slope area in Brooklyn because we love the architecture in the location and it’s a neighborhood with a bright future. The building next to the one we selected has the same exact design and they are also sharing the foundation wall. We decided to have a stair on the right side lot that wraps around with a few landings and finally connects you to the existing stair landing where the front door is. We ended up resizing the powder room (cut

into the kitchen area) in order to make it ADA compliant and changed a few entry doors. We wanted to keep the budget low and by just implementing the ramp and certain removal of doors.

The views are very important to a site. This building is on a site where further up the street there’s the famous Prospect Park. This makes it quite recreational for people with wheelchairs and other disabilities to enjoy their apartment by adding value to the area. We believe that if a lift or elevator were put into the design it would cause major alterations to the façade and that we can’t alter. So the ramps had to be laid down for ADA accessibility.

From doing this project, we have been researching our family’s properties along with our own to check violations and actions/jobs; just to see what is on file. Most of the buildings have very little violations and have a few job actions. We never knew we could find so much information about buildings in NYC just by a simple search online at the New York City Department of Buildings webpage.
