On July 24, 2024, 119 Olivier St. was cited for the removal of the original wood windows and the installation of inappropriate vinyl windows with internal muntins. The windows on both side elevations and the front camelback addition elevation were replaced. While violation fees have been paid, no work has been performed to abate the violation.
On January 15, 2026, the applicant requested a retention of the inappropriate windows. HDLC Staff alerted the applicant by email that they cannot recommend approval of the windows as they do not meet the Design Guidelines, but offered to review options that could be approved by the Commission. The applicant has not reached out to HDLC Staff to work towards a resolution.
The building is currently listed for sale and a new owner will be responsible for the corrections.
