What a general construction project looks like here
Bed-Stuy has 4 separate LPC historic districts covering ~2,300 buildings — Stuyvesant Heights (1971) was the first African-American-advocated historic district in NYC.
The Bedford Historic District (designated 2015) was created specifically to protect a cluster of 1880s-1890s brownstones from tear-down pressure — its design guidelines are among the strictest in Brooklyn for rear-yard extension depth (≤30% of lot depth).
A significant share of Bed-Stuy brownstones (~12%) carry HDFC deed restrictions — renovations in these units require HPD pre-approval and are capped at $25K without formal conversion to market-rate status.
Hub for all 32 services — one licensed NYC GC (DCWP HIC + DOB LMP/LME coordination) across the full project. In Bedford-Stuyvesant specifically, italianate / neo-grec / queen anne brownstones (1870-1900) stock means general construction scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's New York City scoping flow factors bedford historic district (2015) + stuyvesant heights (1971, expansion 2013) + crown heights north iii and rent stabilization density ~44% 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.
