The Landmarks Preservations Committee will not reconsider their approval of Norah Jones’ window installment, despite complaints from neighbors that the windows are inconsistent with the building’s architecture and the demand for a public hearing.
YourNabe: Commission spokesperson Lisi de Bourbon told this paper Wednesday that there are no plans to hold a hearing on the Amity Street property between Clinton and Court streets regardless of complaints from the Cobble Hill Association and other concerned parties who believe that Jones’ new windows would be “out of character” in the landmarked block.
“We have no plans to have a hearing and there is no basis to rescind the existing approval,” de Bourbon said about the songstress’ request to install “ten new masonry openings” as well as “two-over-two double-hung windows within the openings” on the side of her home.
