Boerum Hill Water Damage Restoration

Boerum Hill is one of the most historically distinguished and extraordinarily preserved brownstone neighborhoods in Brooklyn, with approximately 25,000 residents living across a compact established landscape positioned in northwestern Brooklyn. The neighborhood is essentially defined by its extraordinary Boerum Hill Historic District designation (one of Brooklyn’s substantial designated historic districts), its substantial preserved 19th century Italianate, Greek Revival, and Neo-Grec brownstone architecture, its position adjacent to Downtown Brooklyn, Fort Greene, and Cobble Hill, its position along Atlantic Avenue, its distinguished gentrified historic character, and its distinguished cultural landmarks. The community is anchored by the extraordinary Boerum Hill Historic District (a substantial designated historic district containing preserved 19th century brownstones and rowhouses), significant residential property throughout including distinguished preserved historic brownstones, some multi-family construction, distinguished residential property with distinguished character, and commercial property along Atlantic Avenue, Smith Street, and Court Street. The neighborhood is positioned along Atlantic Avenue, Smith Street, Court Street, and Bond Street providing transportation corridor access. The community has an established distinguished population with established professional and diverse residential populations who prize the neighborhood’s extraordinary preserved historic character. The housing stock is defined by the extraordinary preserved historic Italianate, Greek Revival, and Neo-Grec brownstones from the mid to late 19th century (many featuring exceptional original architectural elements including original stoops, cornices, decorative facades, and distinguished interior architectural elements of substantial historic and architectural value). Many Boerum Hill properties feature exceptional historic architectural details, original 19th century woodwork, custom period millwork, distinguished stained glass, ornate plasterwork, and valuable original architectural elements of substantial historic significance.
