What a architectural design project looks like here
Brooklyn Heights was the first LPC Historic District designated in NYC (November 1965) — the district's design guidelines are the oldest actively enforced preservation rules in the city.
A concentration of Federal-era wood-frame houses (1820-1840) along Willow, Columbia Heights, and Cranberry streets are structurally unique in NYC — their post-and-beam framing requires specialized engineers for any load-bearing change, and DOB routinely requires a peer-review structural engineer on top of the ALT-2.
The Brooklyn Heights promenade blocks (Columbia Heights) fall under separate NYC DOT Cantilever Maintenance Jurisdiction — construction noise windows are tighter than standard NYC limits.
Design-build integrated — CAD, elevations, DOB permit sets, LPC coordination (Certificate of Appropriateness). In Brooklyn Heights specifically, greek revival / italianate / anglo-italianate row houses (1820-1880) stock means architectural design scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
