Appropriateness for exterior features, under certain circumstances it may be necessary for the Commission
Staff to have access to the interior of the building in order to accurately assess the condition of the exterior
feature and that the lack of access to the interior may prevent the Commission Staff from making a
favorable recommendation.
Any work performed on a historic landmark or in an historic district which does not conform to the
Certificate of Appropriateness certificate shall be immediately halted by the Historic Preservation
