What a kitchen remodeling project looks like here
Marble Hill is the only part of Manhattan that sits on the mainland of the Bronx — the 1895 Harlem River Ship Canal cut Marble Hill off from the rest of Manhattan, but the neighborhood remains officially part of New York County for census, taxation, and DOB jurisdiction.
The neighborhood's roughly 8,600 residents live in a mix of single-family detached homes and 1950s-70s post-war mid-rise apartment buildings — a unique residential typology mix because the topography (Marble Hill is named for the marble bedrock outcrops) limited large-scale tower construction.
DOB filings in Marble Hill are processed through Manhattan Borough Office despite the physical Bronx location, which routinely creates jurisdictional confusion with utility connections (Con Edison treats it as Bronx for billing) — contractors sometimes need both Bronx and Manhattan utility-coordination letters.

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.
