HISTORIC DISTRICT WORK RECORD

Upper West Side / Central Park West Historic District facade contractors — permit-linked work

Compare contractors through address-specific Upper West Side and Central Park West work. Permit-matched records, official DOB-only work, and company-published addresses are counted separately so the district name does not substitute for evidence.

Quick read: 3 contractors have permit-matched work at 3 buildings. The catalog links 8 district buildings in total, including 1 supported only by a company-published address.

CONTRACTORS WITH PERMIT-LINKED WORK

3 contractors with a two-source district match

Each contractor below has at least one company-published project tied to a DOB record at the same building identifier. This is evidence of a connection, not a quality ranking.

4 additional contractors appear only in DOB-only or company-published district records and are not included in the two-source contractor count.

CONFIRMED BUILDING RECORDS

Permit-matched and official DOB-only work

The first 3 buildings have a two-source contractor match. DOB-only rows are kept visible but labeled separately.

COMPANY-PUBLISHED, NOT PERMIT-MATCHED

Published project addresses kept outside the match count

The address and district identity are supported by official property data, but no permit tying the researched contractor identity to the project was found.

DISTRICT-SPECIFIC CONTEXT

Why building history in Upper West Side / Central Park West Historic District changes the scope

Designated April 24, 1990.

LPC describes the district through the rapid development of the Upper West Side east of Broadway from the 1880s through the 1930s. That long building cycle produced both narrow row houses and much larger apartment houses and apartment hotels rather than one uniform facade type.

The linked official building records reflect that range: late-1880s Queen Anne and Renaissance Revival row houses sit beside Beaux-Arts, neo-Gothic, and neo-Renaissance apartment buildings dating from the late 1890s through the 1920s. Recorded exterior materials include brick, brownstone and other stone, limestone, terra cotta, and ironwork.

The catalog’s local work rows include historic masonry, stoop work, waterproofing, cornice work, and parapet repair. Those labels describe reviewed records at specific addresses; they do not mean that every contractor listed for the borough has performed every service inside this district.

OFFICIAL SOURCES AND LIMITATIONS

Research behind the local context

District history and regulation come from LPC; building attributes come from LPC and PLUTO; contractor connections come from the project sources linked on each building page.

The catalog is not a complete history of work in the district. It does not establish workmanship quality, current availability, every permit at a property, or whether a proposed scope will receive LPC approval.
