Garage conversion in NoHo
NoHo is Manhattan's cast-iron commercial buildings (1860-1895) submarket. NoHo's 46 buildings south of 14th Street and north of Houston contain some of the earliest cast-iron work in Manhattan — Gilsey House (1871) and Bouwerie Lane Theatre (1874) anchor the district.
What a garage conversion project looks like here
NoHo's 46 buildings south of 14th Street and north of Houston contain some of the earliest cast-iron work in Manhattan — Gilsey House (1871) and Bouwerie Lane Theatre (1874) anchor the district.
The NoHo East/West historic district boundary runs through the middle of several buildings, meaning one facade can fall in-district while another is out — LPC checks every elevation independently.
Because NoHo sits on the M1-5B zoning, any kitchen remodel that adds a dishwasher requires DOB to confirm residential occupancy certificate — a step missing in most Manhattan co-ops.
NYC has limited by-right garage conversion (pilot zones only) — most "conversions" involve DOB Alt-1 with occupancy-change review. In NoHo specifically, cast-iron commercial buildings (1860-1895) stock means garage conversion scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's New York City scoping flow factors noho historic district + noho east historic district and m1-5b zoning mixed-use into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

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.
Questions LA homeowners actually ask
NoHo garage conversion projects typically run $125K–$385K. NoHo's cast-iron commercial buildings (1860-1895) stock, combined with noho historic district + noho east historic district — dual lpc coa exposure, puts most mid-complexity projects in the $255K range. Baily scopes the exact band once you describe the work.
