FAQ
I own a historic brownstone in the Boerum Hill Historic District. Can I install a multi-zone heat pump condenser on my roof or in my rear yard without violating LPC rules?
Yes, condensers can be installed in these locations, but prior LPC approval is required to ensure the equipment is completely non-visible from public streets. Your contractor must submit mock-ups and sight-line diagrams to the LPC to obtain a Certificate of No Effect or FasTrack approval before beginning work.
