Perhaps when we have the Happy Hour tonight at Watty and Megs, we can notice the four beautiful exterior mounted AC units bolted to their Kane St. facade in the historic Cobble Hill District. Landmark's approval? Permits? CHA, please find out what happened here. They are UGLY!
Cobble Hill Association, have you looked into whether Watty and Meg filed with the Landmarks Commission and received permission to mount their AC units to the Kane Street facade in a landmark district? So there is no misconception, these are not window units but AC compressors bolted permanently into the wall with power wiring and refrigerant piping leading from them. This is a very dangerous precedent to allow these units, which are becoming more common, to be installed on street facades in an historic district. We urge the CHA to become involved in this issue. We await your response.
We will be discussing the issue during our upcoming September board meeting. If you'd like to get in touch directly for a follow up, let me know via email dave.paco.abraham[at]gmail.com
