Closing Bell: A Curb Cut for Boerum Hill Historic District?

At next week’s LPC public hearing, the commission is going to consider an application to create a curb cut smack in the middle of the Boerum Hill Historic District. The owners of 199 Dean Street have applied for a certificate of appropriateness in order to construct the cut. While we’re not certain whether the owners are looking to kill a section of the sidewalk directly in front of the house or to its side, on Bond Street, we’ve seen curb cuts crappify brownstone blocks in order to create private parking so often that it’s tough not to be wary of the 199 Dean plans.
