What a room additions project looks like here
Park Slope's original historic district (1973) plus Extension I (2012) and Extension II (2016) now cover ~2,600 buildings — making it the largest continuous brownstone historic district in NYC.
Park Slope brownstones have a signature stoop profile (bluestone tread, cast-iron railings, sandstone risers) that the LPC enforces in-kind on any replacement — a stoop rebuild can run $18K-$45K alone because the original sandstone must be sourced from Portland or Ohio quarries.
Because Park Slope brownstones were built on glacial till over bedrock, basement waterproofing is less of an issue than in Harlem or Bed-Stuy — but the shallow footings (3-4 ft below grade) make deep kitchen extensions into the rear yard structurally expensive.
Rear-yard additions, rooftop bulkheads, rooftop additions on low-rise buildings — DOB Alt-1 for envelope expansion. In Park Slope specifically, neo-grec / italianate / romanesque revival / queen anne brownstones (1870-1900) stock means room additions scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology.

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.
