 NEW HEARINGS
21 MOUNTAINVIEW STREET (HARDSHIP)
  • LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT: Forest Park Heights
  • APPLICATION SUBMISSION DATE: Sunday, February 1, 2026
  • APPLICATION EXPIRATION DATE: Thursday, April 2, 2026
  • APPLICATION OVERVIEW: The Petitioner has submitted an Application for Certificate of
 Hardship for the purposes of resolving various violations that were identified by Staff:
 o Windows: In 2023, shortly after a fire, the Petitioner had submitted an application
 to replace the building’s siding and windows; the Commission needed more
 information as it related to the windows and continued the hearing to a future date.
 The Petitioner and/or a representative did not attend and the Commission rejected
 the window portion of the application. Subsequently, the unauthorized installation
 of the windows was completed. The installed windows appear to be Vinyl Max, The
 Eclipse Series.
 o Door: The first-floor front door was replaced without approval.
 o Foundation: The Petitioner advised that there was a cracked foundation, and
 therefore, covered it with a concrete stone pattern.
 o Chimney: The chimney was apparently deconstructed and removed after it partially
 (or maybe fully) collapsed as a result of the fire.
 o Roof: The roof issue appears to have been resolved, as a Building Permit and
 Certificate of Compliance has been issued (and correspondence with Alvin Allen).
  • APPROVED WINDOW STATUS: While the specific model number of the window has not been
 provided, the Vinyl Max Eclipse Series was installed as a Certificate of Appropriateness for
 the property at 281 State Street (Lower Maple Local Historic District) on January 21, 2022.

 • Mark McCormack , from 99 Louis Road and representative of the landowner at 24
 Westernview Street, was before the Commission to present the application. Chair A.
 Nardi read aloud the hearing overview from the Hearing Overviews document.
 • M. McCormack advised that the meter is currently in the basement – to be relocated
 outside and placed on the front of the building. The other utility equipment will be
 placed on the side of the building beyond the side door. The conduit will run along
 the existing downspout and can be painted to match the surface it is affixed to. The
 solar powered panels cannot be repositioned to the rear (noted as R3 on the plan)
 nor can panels be repositioned onto the side (noted as R1 on the plan) due to tree
 coverage. Trinity Solar had positioned the panels the best they could given the
 conditions and underlying guidelines.
 • A discussion ensued about the location of the electric meter. Staff Member A.
 Strniste shared the email from Eversource advising that the meter can be located on
 the side – contrary to what Eversource informed. The Commission requested that
 the meter be placed on the side of the building and if Eversource was unable to do
 so, they could come back to the Commission. The project is not anticipated to start
 until April due to the restriction on trenching during the early months of the year.
 • No public comment was provided.
 • Commissioner V. Walsh made a motion to approve the application with the
 condition that the meters and utility equipment be on the side of the building
 behind the side door. The motion was seconded by Commissioner V. Nespor. With
 no discussion on the motion, it was approved unanimously.

 • Steve Greb, from Window Nation and representing 168 Thompson Street was before
 the Commission to present the window-related project at the aforementioned
 address. Chair A. Nardi commenced by reading the hearing overview from the
 Hearing Overviews document.


 3|Page
 • S. Greb informed the Commission that the Petitioner was seeking to replace ten (10)
 first floor windows, matching the existing configuration. The look will be the same,
 but with a beveled picture frame. The grids will be between the window panes, as
 exterior grids for this specific window have been discontinued.
 • Commissioner V. Walsh expressed his concern about the color of the window and
 that there were no exterior grids. The Commission confirmed that there were
 existing storm windows that were painted black, that the current windows were
 white, and that the trim was also painted white. The windows that currently exist
 appear to be the original windows.
 • S. Greb advised that the existing windows were extremely drafty and that the
 cavities are beyond repair. When observing the sample, the proposed window was
 not a slimline version, and when observing the pictures, the Commission opined that
 the existing windows appeared to be sturdy. As part of the replacement project, the
 voids where the weights are will be filled.
 • S. Greb advised of and showed the Commission of window replacement projects in
 the neighborhood. When asked if the window was available in black, S. Greb
 responded by advising that the current windows are white. He then informed the
 Commission that they were willing to propose a simpler replacement window
 without grids. The Commission advised that they had never approved grids inside
 the windows.
 • Harry Seymour, from 68 Washington Road, opposed the project and opined that the
 Commission had never approved windows without external grids or the type of
 window. The resident from 30 Maplewood Terrace opined that paint was not a
 controlled color.
 • Commissioner V. Nespor advised that the proposed window is not the type or style
 of window they would normally approve and that the in-glass grids tipped the
 scales. Chair A. Nardi asked if a different window on the approved window list was
 more acceptable. When asked if a continuance was desired, S. Greb responded no,
 that he was there to present the proposed window.
 • Commissioner V. Nespor made a motion to approve the application. The motion
 was seconded by Commissioner K. Coffee. With no further discussion, the motion
 was denied unanimously.

 • Jynai McDonald, from 187 Westminster Street, and Michael Simmonds, from an
 unknown address, were before the Commission to present the window project at


 4|Page
 477 State Street, known as the Gunn Block. Chair A. Nardi commenced by reading
 the hearing overview from the Hearing Overviews document.
 • J. McDonald informed the Commission that the building currently has no windows;
 that they were previously removed and nowhere to be located. The previous
 windows appear to have been a variety of different ones. The proposed windows
 will be double pane, black, exterior black grids, two-over-two, wood core lament.
 The window will sit low on the window sill. The Commission opined that the
 window satisfies a lot of the usual requirements.
 • Harry Seymour, from 68 Washington Road, supported the window project and
 opined that the proposed project hit all the right notes.
 • Commissioner V. Nespor made a motion to accept the application as a Certificate of
 Appropriateness. The motion was seconded by Commissioner K. Coffee. With no
 discussion on the motion, it was approved unanimously.

 • Yaa Appiah and Emmanuel S. Owusu, both from 45 Greenleaf Street, were before the
 Commission to present the window replacement project at the aforementioned
 address. Chair A. Nardi commenced by reading the hearing overview from the
 Hearing Overviews document.
 • The Petitioner advised that the windows were in need of replacement due to
 containing lead. One of the children suffered from lead poisoning and had to be
 removed from the house. All of the windows are in need of replacement. The
 Petitioner confirmed that two of the windows had been previously replaced with
 white vinyl windows. Staff Member A. Strniste provided clarification as to the
 quotes provided in the application – one was for restoration, one was for
 replacement, and the other related to the proposed windows. The identified
 windows for restoration and the other replacement window were unaffordable.
 • The Petitioner is proposing a window that is black on the outside. After viewing the
 window’s specifications online, the Commission found the proposed window to be
 satisfactory. The window was close to being slimline and was black in color. No
 grids will be proposed since the existing windows do not have grids. Being black in
 color will better hide any excess visible vinyl.
 • No public comment was provided.
 • Commissioner V. Nespor made a motion to approve the Certificate of Hardship for
 the purposes of replacing the windows with United one-over-one windows, black in
 color with no grids. The motion was seconded by Commissioner V. Walsh. With no
 discussion on the motion, it was approved unanimously.

 • Siervo Jimenez, from 80 Cornell Street, was before the Commission to present the
 proposed single-family dwelling project at the aforementioned address. Chair A.
 Nardi commenced by reading the hearing overview from the Hearing Overviews
 document.
 • S. Jimenez advised that he was proposing to build a new single-family dwelling at
 the vacant property that will be 79 feet wide with inspiration from the white house
 down the street addressed as 325 Longhill Street. The intent was to mimic some of
 those features. The proposed siding will be stucco. The windows will be black Jen-
 Weld windows with exterior grids. The doors will also be black (the Petitioner
 submitted renderings of the proposed doors that were viewed on screen during the
 hearing). After receiving feedback in the written public comment, the plans were
 updated to address some of those concerns. The building will remain U-shaped.
 The second iteration was viewed by the Commission, which was found to be a better
 design, and took into consideration the links sent by the Springfield Preservation
 Trust.
 • The front doors were discussed; the Commission received clarification that the
 doors will be 80-inches in height. Example doors were viewed by the Commission
 and would contain black exterior grids. The Petitioner is not working with an
 historic architect. Commissioner K. Coffee opined that the proposed rendering was
 of Georgian style, but was missing key features. After learning that the project is
 10,000 square feet, Chair A. Nardi advised that a licensed architect would be
 required to get approval from the building department. The Petitioner was adamant
 that an architect was not required. The Commission opined that an architect would
 be useful to assist with getting something he desired; that rendering two was closer;
 however, the size of the building is overpowering and to big for the lot. A lot of
 concern persisted over the size of the building and that seeing the building in a
 street profile would be valuable. S. Jimenez wanted to meet with the Commission to
 discuss the project and get a better understanding of what was required.
 Commissioner V. Walsh opined that more information was needed, but that it was
 heading in the right direction.
 • The attending resident at 30 Maplewood Terrace vocalized concern about the size of
 the building relative to the neighboring properties, and that understanding the size
 was impossible based on the submitted information. There was major concern by
 her and the Forest Park Civic Association.



 6|Page
 • Harry Seymour from 68 Washington Road vocalized some confusion – that the
 second iteration was a little bit better from what was initially submitted, but not
 quite there.
 • City Councilor Kateri Walsh opined that she was not opposed to new housing, but
 new housing should be compatible with the area; that the building looks like a
 school rather than a house.
 • An abutting neighbor in attendance advised that the property should be used as a
 yard for the house the Petitioner owns, as it always had been. As proposed, there
 will be no space for a yard and that the driveway will be constructed to be in close
 proximity of their property line.
 • Councilor Victor Davila, from 130 Firglade Avenue, asked for a point of clarification,
 inquiring if approval from the Planning Board or a variance is required.
 • James Sedlak, from 24 Spruceland Avenue, opined that the proposed building was
 too big for the neighborhood.
 • Melisa Sedlak, from 24 Spruceland Avenue, opined that the abutting residence, also
 owned by the Petitioner, is an AirB&B that is not maintained, suggesting what could
 potentially happen if the proposed building was constructed. M. Sedlak also opined
 that the building was too big for the property.
 • Chair A. Nardi inquired if the lot was one lot, which it was determine that the parcel
 was one lot. S. Jimenez confirmed that a variance would not be required. A
 discussion ensued about the project being on the path of something good; that it
 came a long way from the first iteration. Working with a licensed architect would
 help; the Commission needs more definitive information. Chair A. Nardi opined that
 he was having trouble with the scale of the building and would like see it in the
 context of the streetscape – the Commission also takes into consideration how
 development affects the streetscape.
 • Commissioner K. Coffee read the written public comment submitted by the
 Springfield Preservation Trust. Commissioner V. Nespor read the written public
 comment submitted by Denise Moccia. Chair A. Nardi read the written public
 comment submitted by Hector Cruz. Commissioner K. Coffee read the written public
 comment submitted by Ralph Slate.
 • A discussion commenced about continuing the hearing to March 5, 2026.
 Commissioner V. Nespor inquired about the number of bedrooms. S. Jimenez
 advised there will be four bedrooms, a studio, theater, study, and gym. The building
 will be owned by himself; he is investing a million dollars into building the house.
 • Commissioner V. Walsh made a motion to continue the meeting to March 5, 2026.
 The motion was seconded by Commissioner V. Nespor. Staff Member A. Strniste
 advised that the February 19 meeting date likely would not be ideal in order to
 timely distribute new plans to the public and the Commission. The motion was
 approved unanimously.


X. PRESERVATION OF HISTORICALLY SIGNIFICANT BUILDINGS – 52 BAY STREET
 • Staff Member A. Strniste informed the Commission that the Demo Delay application
 relating to 52 Bay Street was withdrawn.

 VANA NESPOR MOTION – YAY
 VINCENT WALSH YAY
 MARISA ZORZI ABSENT

 • Elder E. Walker and Pastor S. Lee, were before the Commission seeking a
 determination that the building at 4 Garfield Street was a Historic Resource.
 • Prior to commencing review of the 4 Garfield Street request, Staff Member A.
 Strniste and the Commission discussed the expectations from the Community
 Preservation Commission (CPC). The CPC is request that a determination be made
 that a property is a historic resource and/or historically significant. A letter of
 support by the Commission is at their discretion. The Commission discussed the
 benefits of issuing a letter of support, as well as what is required to make a
 determination of historic significance. Attorney R. Shewchuk will review what is
 required for a determination.
 • Commissioner V. Nespor made a motion to find that the building at 4 Garfield Street
 was a historic resource and to issue a letter of support. The motion was seconded
 by Commissioner K. Coffee. With no further discussion on the motion, it was
 approved unanimously.

XII. OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY BEFORE THE COMMISSION – ADMINISTRATIVE UPDATES
 • Staff Member A. Strniste informed the Commission about the Non-Applicability
 Certificates issued since the last meeting: 142 Westminster Street (installation of a
 brick driveway), 102 Thompson Street (fence), and 119 Maplewood Terrace
 (asphalt shingle roof to asphalt shingle roof).

XIII. OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY BEFORE THE COMMISSION – CORRESPONDENCE TO THE COMMISSION
 • Staff Member A. Strniste presented the correspondence provided by Attorney R.
 Shewchuk regarding ADA accessible ramps, specifically that the Historical
 Commission has the authority to require specific design changes and criteria.

XIV. OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY BEFORE THE COMMISSION – QUORUM CALL
 • Commissioners A. Nardi, V. Nespor, and K. Coffee will be present at the next
 meeting. Commissioner V. Walsh is likely, but remotely.

 XV. OTHER MATTERS PROPERLY BEFORE THE COMMISSION – PUBLIC SPEAK OUT
 • City Councilor K. Walsh commended the Historical Commission for how they run
 their meetings.


 8|Page
• Harry Seymour, from 68 Washington Road, recommended that the Commission
 complete the New Construction Guidelines, as applicants appear to have difficulty
 with new construction projects. The Commission responded that the turnover in
 Staff was the main reason why the guidelines have stalled. Staff Member A. Strniste
 advised that he had been working on finding the materials from his predecessors
 and assembling something for the Commission to review, hopefully by March.
• The resident from 30 Maplewood Terrace requested a copy of the email from
 Eversource relating to electric meters.
• Commissioner V. Walsh made a motion to adjourn. The motion was seconded by
 Commissioner V. Nespor. With no discussion on the motion, it was approved
 unanimously. The Commission adjourned at 7:36 PM.

 Project Description :

Property was badly damaged by fire. The roof and chimney collapsed and windows and front
door burned up. The chimney was removed due to it being badly damaged and a new roof was
installed with the same type of asphalt shingles. The windows were replaced with the same
vinyl windows and a wooden lattice installed over the front ones to match what it looked like
before. The front door was replaced with one that looks the same as the one that was there
previously. The foundation was also recoated with concrete and a decorative stone design
etched into it.

Justification For Certificate of Hardship:

The chimney was badly damaged and collapsed and needed to be removejThe foundation had
surface cracks in it and was also damaged by the fire on the surface (not structurally) and so it
had to be recoated. The windows melted and front door was badly burned so they needed to
be replaced ASAP to prevent further damage to the interior of the structure due to weather. All
of this work has already been completed.

 Good morning,


 I don't have an application on file for the roof under appropriateness; however, I checked on Google Streetview and it appears you already have an asphalt roof; therefore, the matter would fall under "non-
 applicability", which does not require a public hearing as you are not changing materials. I have notified David Markham in the Building Department that you are all set to move forward with your building permit.

 Dear AAD, LLC:

 Please be advised that Office of Planning & Economic Development, via the Staff liaison to the Springfield
 Historical Commission, confirmed that the building at 21 Mountainview Street is in violation of a 2006
 Certificate of Hardship, specifically relating to the third-floor windows. As approved in 2006, the third-
 floor windows were to be covered with an exterior wood grid pattern to match the diamond pane pattern of
 the previous windows that were to be permanently affixed to the window. At a recent site visit, Staff
 observed that there were no wooden diamond-pane pattern grids affixed to the windows.
 Furthermore, in reviewing your 2023 application relating to replacing all fire-damaged windows, please
 be advised that that part of the application was never resolved, and therefore, is not in effect, as the
 Commission only approved repairs to the building's siding during the August 3, 2023 hearing. The portion
 of the application pertaining to the fire-damaged windows was originally continued to the September 21,
 2023 meeting agenda; however, due to the lack of someone appearing before the Commission on that
 date, the part of the application relating to the fire-damaged windows was denied. Consequently,
 approval relating to the windows is still required.
 In consideration of these observations, the Historical Commission is respectfully requesting that you
 resubmit an application relating to the windows. The next available Springfield Historical Commission
 meeting is Thursday, November 20, 2025 at 5:30pm and the application needs to be submitted two
 weeks in advance of the meeting (by Wednesday, November 5, 2025 at 12:00pm). If you cannot make
 this meeting, please contact me for future meeting dates.
 If you do not comply, the Commission will be forced to take further action. In addition, the Building
 Department has been notified of this violation to determine if permitting is required on their end.
 If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (413) 787-6525.

 Dear AAD, LLC:

  Please be advised that this is the second attempt by the Office of Planning & Economic Development, via
  the Staff liaison to the Springfield Historical Commission, to inform you that there is an existing violation
  relating to the building at 21 Mountainview Street pertaining to a 2006 Certificate of Hardship, specifically
  relating to the third-floor windows. As approved in 2006, the third-floor windows were to be covered with
  an exterior wood grid pattern to match the diamond pane pattern of the previous windows that were to be
  permanently affixed to the window. At a recent site visit, Staff observed that there were no wooden
  diamond-pane pattern grids affixed to the windows.
  Furthermore, in reviewing your 2023 application relating to replacing all fire-damaged windows, please
  be advised that that part of the application was never resolved, and therefore, is not in effect, as the
  Commission only approved repairs to the building's siding during the August 3, 2023 hearing. The portion
  of the application pertaining to the fire-damaged windows was originally continued to the September 21,
  2023 meeting agenda; however, due to the lack of someone appearing before the Commission on that
  date, the part of the application relating to the fire-damaged windows was denied. Consequently,
  approval relating to the windows is still required.
  In addition to the unauthorized installation of the windows, Staff recently observed two more notable
  issues that did not receive approval from the Commission: 1) the unauthorized replacement of the first-
  floor front door, and 2) the unauthorized modification to the foundation. All of the aforementioned
  unauthorized renovations require approval from the Historical Commission.
  In consideration of these observations, the Historical Commission is respectfully requesting that you
  submit an application to obtain approval for the aforementioned renovations. The next available
  Springfield Historical Commission meeting is Thursday, December 18, 2025 at 5:30pm and the
  application needs to be submitted two weeks in advance of the meeting (by Wednesday, December 3,
  2025 at 12:00pm). If you cannot make this meeting, please contact me for future meeting dates.
  If you do not comply, the Commission will be forced to take further action. In addition, the Building
  Department has been notified of this violation to determine if permitting is required on their end.
  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (413) 787-6525.

 HISTORIC PRESERVATION STATEMENT OF INTENT

​Property: 167 Berkshire St, Springfield, MA 01151
 Owner: Manuel Edison Morocho
 Date: February 2026

​To the Community Preservation Committee,

​My name is Manuel Morocho, and I am a professional carpenter and the proud owner of the
 historic property at 167 Berkshire St. Since purchasing this home two years ago, I have
 dedicated my skills and personal resources to stabilizing and protecting what I now know is a
 1905 landmark, originally built for firefighter Fred W. Evans and later used as a convent.

​As a carpenter, I have a deep respect for the craftsmanship of the early 20th century. My
 approach to this house has been "Preservation First." I have already performed significant
 structural work with my own hands, including:

 ●​ ​Structural Stabilization: I removed three layers of heavy, decaying ceiling materials
 that were compromising the original 1905 framing.
 ●​ ​Weatherization: I have restored and protected the porch to prevent further rot and water
 damage.
 ●​ ​System Restoration: I successfully repaired the historic steam radiator system,
 replacing rotted valves to bring the heating back to life.
 ●​ ​Integrity: I have carefully preserved the original "pure natural" elements, such as the
 wide-plank hardwood floors recognizing their historical value.

​I am an immigrant who arrived in this country in 2019 under political asylum. I am working hard
 to build a future here, and I see myself as the guardian of this house’s legacy. However, while I
 provide the labor and the tools for the interior, I lack the capital required for a professional
 historic restoration of the roof, windows, and exterior cornices.

​I am also working with Mass Save to install energy-efficient heat pumps, but this modern
 efficiency will only work if the exterior envelope—the original windows and doors—is properly
 restored and sealed.

​I am not seeking these funds for personal profit, but to ensure that this treasure of Springfield
 survives for another 100 years. I am a partner with the City: I provide the craftsmanship and
 daily care, and I ask for the CPA’s support to help me protect the historic face of Indian Orchard.

​Thank you for your time and for considering my commitment to our city’s history.

​Sincerely,

 ​HISTORIC RESTORATION PROJECT: 167 BERKSHIRE ST.
 The Fred W. Evans House / Former St. Aloysius Convent)

​I. INTRODUCTION: A LEGACY OF SERVICE

This property is essential to understanding the history of Indian Orchard. It was built in 1905 by
local firefighter Fred W. Evans, who lived here for six years. Its location was strategic: Evans
lived just three steps away from his post at the corner fire station, always ready to protect the
community.

​In 1912, the house became the St. Aloysius Convent. For 50 years (until 1962), the sisters lived
 and served our neighborhood from within these walls. This building is listed on the MACRIS
 inventory and represents the identity and sacrifice of those who built our neighborhood.

​II. DETAILED RESTORATION PLAN

 ●​ ​Structural Protection (Roof, Cornices, and Eaves): Full roof repair and restoration of
 the original wood cornices and eaves to stop deterioration and save the 1905 design.
 ●​ ​Original Windows and Doors (Historic Integrity): Technical restoration of the original
 1905 wood, rejecting modern materials to maintain authentic craftsmanship.
 ●​ ​Front Porch: Historical Restoration & Structural Reversion: The porch was found in
 structural collapse because the original 1905 support beams and floorboards were made
 of interior-grade lumber—identical to the house's internal structure—which is
 non-compliant for exterior use. This improper wood absorbed moisture, causing severe
 rot and forcing previous owners to enclose the porch as a makeshift shield. To halt
 decay, I stabilized the structure with hydraulic jacks and pressure-treated plywood. This
 project seeks to replace the obsolete internal beams and floorboards with
 2026-compliant treated lumber and revert the porch to its original 1905 open-air design.
 ●​ ​Facade Restoration: Historic treatment and painting to ensure the property becomes a
 visual point of pride on this prominent corner.

​
III. CONCLUSION

Restoring 167 Berkshire St. completes our street's historic puzzle. If the city is restoring the
station where firefighter Fred W. Evans worked, we have a duty to rescue the home where he
lived. We do this to honor both the firefighter who protected us and the St. Aloysius sisters who
served us for decades. The history of Indian Orchard cannot be told without preserving this
building.

 Project Description for the Springfield Community Preservation Funds

“And to Think I Saw it on Mulberry Street” Springfield resident and famous author Theodor
Geisel’s aka Dr. Seuss first published book in 1937, was inspired by the unique enclave
neighborhood in which his grandmother lived. There is a plaque commemorating the home on
Mulberry Street.
The Mulberry House was erected in 1955 and with its turquoise and beige stone façade, reflects
the art deco style captured in many of Dr. Seuss’ children’s books. It is located at 101 Mulberry
Street in Springfield, Massachusetts within the Ridgewood Local Historic District. The
condominium has 120 units.
When The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum located in the William Pynchon Memorial
Building at the Springfield Quadrangle opened in June, 2017, the parade proceeded down
Mulberry Street which drew a few hundred spectators from the Mulberry House itself!

Last year, the Mulberry House Board of Trustees applied for a Community Preservation Grant to
repair and restore the roof on this symbolic and culturally relevant building. The competition
was steep and unfortunately, we were not granted the funds for our project. The Board of
Trustees attempted to fund the roof project through increased HOA fees however, other more
immediate emergency situations arose. That being stated, we are still in need of funds for the
roof repair and restoration.

The exterior roof, 21,544 square feet is in very poor condition and is in dire need of repair and
restoration. Previously, it was proposed to cut out and dispose of the top layer of the existing
roof membrane to expose insulation. Then remove and dispose of all penetration and
perimeter flashings, take cores throughout the roof, furnish and install a lay of 50 mil white
membrane over the entire roof. All seams, laps and transitions will be mechanically fastened
using FM approved fasteners and plates. Then furnish and install new PVC membrane, flashings,
sealants and clamping rings on 9 roof drains and install 1100 inft of snap fascia. Once the roof is
repaired, it will be maintained through regular inspection at least twice per year, cleaning
debris, addressing any signs of leak or water damage including inspecting flashings and seals
around roof penetrations. Under the guidance of the Board of Trustees of The Mulberry House,
the project will be overseen by our new management company, Premier Property
Management, specialists in condominium buildings (i.e. Classical and Georgetown). Premier will
identify reputable roofing companies and will obtain a minimum of three (3) bids to present to
the Board prior to hiring.
