FAQ
Can I install a ductless mini-split AC/heat pump condenser on the roof or front facade of my Carroll Gardens brownstone without Landmarks approval?
If your building is within the designated Carroll Gardens Historic District, you cannot install exterior HVAC equipment on the front facade. The LPC requires equipment to be invisible from public street level, restricting condensers to rear yards or set back on roofs, requiring an LPC permit before DOB approval. Properties outside the district or in Red Hook do not need LPC approval but must comply with flood-proofing and zoning codes.
