New Rochelle board approves home addition following public comments and survey submissions

The New Rochelle Housing and Land Review Board (HLRB) meeting held on July 9, 2025, focused on a proposed addition to a residential property, with discussions centering on the specifics of the renovation and its compliance with city regulations.

During the meeting, a representative presented details about the renovation, clarifying that the windows being replaced are located at the back of the house, with no changes planned for the front. The representative indicated that if budget allows, they may consider future replacements for the front windows, but this would require further approval from the board.

A survey was shared to confirm that the garage associated with the property is entirely situated on its designated lot, addressing concerns about potential encroachments on adjacent properties. The representative also discussed the condition of the shingles beneath the aluminum siding, stating that they were damaged and had been covered due to their poor state.

After thorough discussion, a motion was made to approve the proposed addition and the related items as outlined by the representative. The motion received unanimous support from the board members present.

The meeting concluded with no additional items on the agenda, and a motion to adjourn was passed. The board expressed gratitude to all participants before closing the session. This meeting marks a step forward in the ongoing development and renovation efforts within New Rochelle, reflecting the city's commitment to maintaining and improving its residential areas.
