Prohibited Wood siding shall not be resurfaced with new material that is inappropriate or was <br />unavailable when the building was constructed, such as artificial stone, brick veneer, asbestos or <br />asphalt shingles. Sandblasting or the use of harsh detergents shall not be used on masonry <br />including brick, stucco, limestone, flagstone and sandstone. This method of cleaning erodes the <br />surface material and accelerates deterioration. <br />Repointing shall not be done with a mortar of high Portland cement content which can often <br />create a bond that is stronger than the building material. Usage of Portland cement can cause <br />deterioration as a result of the differing coefficient of expansion and porosity of the historic <br />masonry unit and the mortar. This most often results in serious damage to adjacent brick <br />Unpainted masonry surfaces shall not be painted unless they had been painted originally.
