This project consists of the alteration and enlargement of an existing residential building at 1662 Broadway in Brooklyn, New York, including the conversion of a two-family dwelling into a six-family dwelling and the acquisition of a new Certificate of Occupancy. The work includes both exterior reconstruction and interior reconfiguration to accommodate the increased number of dwelling units.
The scope of work includes substantial facade modification and vertical enlargement at the central portion of the structure. Work includes new exterior wall construction with a combination of brick masonry and smooth-faced stone or stucco cladding, installation of new window assemblies, and reconfiguration of the building’s front elevation. The central entry has been rebuilt with a new recessed doorway and metal canopy, along with associated concrete paving and site improvements at grade. The side wings retain brick masonry construction, which has been repaired and integrated into the new facade design.
The project sequence includes demolition of the existing facade and selective structural modifications, followed by reconstruction of the exterior envelope, installation of new fenestration, and completion of entry and site elements. The work also includes upgrades to building access points and exterior finishes, contributing to a cohesive and modernized appearance. Interior alterations associated with the change in occupancy include reconfiguration of partitions, egress systems, and building services.
All work is performed in accordance with approved plans and in compliance with current NYC Building Code requirements. The project includes the conversion of the building occupancy classification and layout to support six residential units, consistent with the stated alteration scope.
The completed improvements modernize the building envelope, enhance curb appeal, and support increased residential density while maintaining structural integrity. The reconstruction and material upgrades improve durability, weather resistance, and overall building performance, contributing to the long-term safety and functionality of the property.
