Thank you for reporting this situation. An inspector has been assigned to evaluate the premises.

Wow, I can just feel my quality of life improving as I read these.

Sarcasm WILL get you everywhere. haha

Why is this wrong? Are vinyl replacements not allowable in the Historic District? Just curious. Seems odd.

The front of buildings and what can be easily seen from the street in a historic district needs to be approved and consistent with the nature of the district.
PS Storm windows are exempt because they are seen as temporary rather than a permanent part of the building. Vinyl and other such windows might be acceptable in the rear of a building if buildings dept. approves.

Yes as ridiculous as it is vinyl windows are not allowed. I wish the Historic Commission would care more about the look that is presented than the material. They have in the past made exceptions for front windows that are higher than the 2nd floor.
