RE: 1168 Lincoln Way East
On Tuesday May 28, 2019, I met with the owner of 1168 Lincoln Way East at the property. He had
recently submitted an application to remove four large trees from the property as well as replacing the
original windows.
The trees are located on the western property line. Three are located at the rear of the house the fourth
is located just off the municipal sidewalk and driveway intersection. The rear trees have gone unkept for
a long time and have large branches that stretch over both the structure and the neighbor’s house as
well. Several large branches are dead and hollowed out. The root system of the trees have uprooted the
driveway concrete and have made it difficult to use. The one tree closest to the street has a large dead
branch and is overhanging the municipal sidewalk and street. The owner informed me that his insurance
company would not insure the house until the trees were removed. He had contacted a different
insurance company with the same end result. He has contacted two tree companies for their opinion of
the trees and estimates, although he is more interested in their removal than pruning.
The windows are original wood windows with a unique design that is character defining. Most of the
windows have triple track aluminum storm windows. Many of the storms have broken or missing sashes.
The original windows themselves have several broken glass panes, (I counted 14), but are in good
structural condition.
North (front)
1st floor
Porch- 4 large 8/1 wooden casement windows that match the pattern of the rest of the house. Good
condition except for a few broken panes and too much paint.
Inside the porch there are two 8/1 double hung windows with the same pattern and a large stationary
picture window with broken ¼” thick plate glass. The new glass will have to be tempered per building
code and informed the owner of that.
2nd floor
4-8/1 double hung windows
3rd floor
2-4 symmetrically patterned pane wood casement windows
West (driveway side)
1st floor
Porch- 2-large 8/1 wood casement windows
1-8/1 stationary wood window
2nd floor
3-8/1 double hung wood window
South (rear)
1st floor
1-8/1 double hung wood window, no lower sash
1-8/1 double hung wood window
1-8/1 double hung wood window, short so pattern is less defined
2nd floor
3-8/1 double hung wood windows
East
1st floor
4-8/1 double hung wood windows
2-8/1 stationary windows
Porch- 2-8/1 large wood casement windows
2nd floor
2-8/1 double hung wood windows
The interior trim and walls boards have all been removed exposing the window weight chases. The
lower sashes have had brass track strips added for security and weatherization. I showed the owner how
to remove and sash and verbally instructed him on the repairs needed to be done. Many of the broken
glass visible from the street are the broken aluminum storms. He is aware that he may be able to get
replacement aluminum storms where need through an Administrative approval. He is going to attempt
to make window repairs himself prior to moving forward with his application to replace the original
windows.
