Boerum Hill

Boerum Hill — modest scale, refined work.

Boerum Hill’s row houses are smaller than Park Slope or Bedford-Stuyvesant counterparts, but the architectural attention is no less rewarding. We work here, including the paving stone installation at 680 Warren Street.

Boerum Hill housing stock

Boerum Hill’s housing stock dates from 1845–1880, predominantly Greek Revival and Italianate row houses, generally three or three-and-a-half stories. Many feature simple but well-proportioned facades with low stoops, modest cornices, and unified street fronts.

The neighborhood has a more intimate scale than its neighbors — narrower buildings, lower roof lines, smaller front yards. Restoration requires a corresponding sensitivity to scale.

Common deterioration patterns in Boerum Hill

Boerum Hill commonly needs:

Stoop and entry restoration — relatively short stoops with significant daily wear.
Front yard and sidewalk work — many homes have small front gardens that benefit from coordinated paving and stoop projects.
Cornice and lintel repair on the typical sheet-metal and brownstone elements of these older row houses.
Repointing on soft historic brick where prior repairs may have used mortar that was too hard for the substrate.

Landmark & LPC status

The Boerum Hill Historic District (designated 1973) covers the heart of the neighborhood. Most visible exterior work requires LPC review. The district’s designation report emphasizes the neighborhood’s distinctive small-scale, unified streetscape — a character LPC actively protects.
