I too am appalled that the rules for construction in Paulus Hook were disregarded. When we moved here we were stopped by the HPHA for replacing windows they deemed historically inaccurate. We could not afford the ones they would accept and so could not replace faulty windows. What might be the reason members would ignored the rules regarding plans for a large development on Van Vorst? Who is making money off this? Idealistic Designers? Dedicated Architects? People who should be dedicated to our community.
