Following individual site visits and review of files, Commissioners determined that the windows approved for 6 Gifford Court under Certificate ofNon-applicability were in-kind replacement of 2/2 true divided-lite,single-glazed, wood windows. What was installed, however, were 1/1 wood windows with exterior and interior glue-on muntins simulating 2/2 configuration. These windows are not in compliance with the Certificate of Non-applicability of June, 2001 and thus, technically in violation. In discussing this matter, Commission members cited problems wilh glue-on muntins, including poor performance(falling off at 129 Essex Street),the appearance of the gap between tte interior and exterior muntins and the unpainted sash rebates, which show through the inter-space of the insulated glass panels. CONSEQUENTLY, The application to replace windows at 24 Gifford Court with new windows matching those recently installed at 6 and 8 Gifford Court was not approved. A Certificate of Appropriateness was issued to replace window sash at 4 Gifford Court and both sash & frames at 2 Gifford Court with new 2/2, double-hung, single- glazed,true divided-lite wood windows matching those originally installed(and partly surviving)on the house. The owners of 24 Gifford Court (Donna Yates) stated that they did not want to create problems for the owners of 5 Gifford Court. THEREFORE,on February 4,2004,the Commission unanimously VOTED: 1. To take no action on window violations at 6&8 Gifford Court,in view of the misunderstanding by the property owners about what had actually been approved in the Certificates of 2001 and 2002, and also in view of the delay before this misunderstanding and resulting violations were brought to the attention of the Commission. 2. To place a memo in the files of 2,4, 6& 8 Gifford Court summarizing this matter and stating that the I/1 wood windows with exterior and interior glue-on muntins,as currently installed at 6 &8 Gifford Court,were installed without approval of the Commission and are not entitled to be retained in perpetuity under future Certificates of Non-applicability. � i� �� , � ! a � �;,: - � ;_�; h!_ � �� - Av a.:'e IIuIuI',' ..e . ;fl� �.. i .e.- ��...
