Because so many Circle buildings are National Register listed, DBNS routes facade work through both Regional Center Design review and IHPC adjacency review, which adds 6-12 weeks beyond a standard permit cycle.
Upper-floor condo conversions on the Circle frequently surface 1888-1902 cast-iron radiator systems that pre-date Indianapolis steam-heat district shutdown — abandonment and new HVAC tie-in adds 8K-18K to a kitchen-bath project.

Who is Baily?
Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.
He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.
That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.
Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
