What a custom home design project looks like here
Sunnyside Gardens (1924-1928) is a nationally significant early planned garden-apartment community designed by Clarence Stein and Henry Wright — its 1,200 row houses carry both LPC designation (since 2007) and private covenants enforced by the Sunnyside Gardens Preservation Alliance.
The SGPA covenants restrict rear-yard extensions to ≤15 ft depth and cap kitchen-addition footprints at 120 sqft — stricter than the LPC COA defaults, and enforceable via civil action by the Alliance.
Because Sunnyside Gardens was designed as a shared-amenity community with common mews and gardens, kitchen-addition construction typically requires the neighbor's notarized consent for any party-wall work — a 2-4 week legal adder on top of the permit review.

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.
