The existing windows have been deemed deteriorated beyond repair by Preservation Inspector and window repair contractor. SITE VISIT REPORT: March 21, 2018 1 met with the property manager of 736 Portage, Valerie of VPM at the location. We discussed window replacement for the basement windows at 736. Some windows at both buildings at the lower level have already been replaced from the wood double hung to aluminum casements. Four windows are wood double hung are not functioning and are damaged beyond repair. One sash is missing the meeting rail and another is completely missing the mortise and tenon joint. The casement windows also allow a legal egress. Steve Szaday, Preservation Inspector STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES, CHAPIN PARK: II. Existing Structures C. WINDOWS AND DOORS Window and door frames are in most cases wood and vary depending upon the style of the home. Many are double -hung windows with wood trim and sills. Brick structures have stone sills and brick lintels. In some cases where aluminum siding has been applied, the window and door trim has been covered. About half of the structures in the district have aluminum storm windows; the other half have wood storm windows. Required Original windows and doors shall be retained including sashes, lintels, sills, shutters, decorative glass, pediments, hoods and hardware. When deteriorated beyond repair, they shall be replaced with units and trim resembling the original. Recommended Wood storm windows and doors painted or finished to match the original should be used but should not damage existing frames. If new sashes or doors are installed, the existing or original materials, design and hardware should be used. When metal storm doors are used, they should be painted, anodized or coated to match the existing. When awnings are used, they should be of canvas material.
