What a new home construction project looks like here
Carroll Gardens' historic district (designated 1973, covering only President and Carroll streets between Smith and Hoyt) is one of the smallest LPC districts in Brooklyn — just two blocks of 160 buildings — but its signature 33-ft front-yard setback is the strictest preservation feature in the borough.
The Carroll Gardens brownstone profile differs from Park Slope or Fort Greene — lower stoop height (5-7 steps vs 7-10), shallower parlor floors, and wider lots (22-28 ft vs 18-22 ft) — which changes the typical kitchen-layout depth and trigger different LPC COA standards.
Because the Gowanus Canal superfund site runs along the eastern edge, properties within 300 ft of the canal face EPA soil-vapor-intrusion screening requirements — a $4K-$12K vapor-barrier installation may be required before a kitchen can be relocated to a below-grade space.

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.
