1) The porch enclosure was reported to Building Inspections on August 6, 2014. The work was completed without a Building Permit.

2) The original porch balustrade and posts were removed. The brick porch piers were either removed or altered to be full-height.

3) The glass porch enclosure is not appropriate for the Craftsman-style house or any house with the H-1 zoning overlay because it obscures and destroys original features, and because this type of enclosure was not utilized during the period of architectural significance.
