Connecticut Administrative Code › Title 10 - Education and Culture › 320j - Historic Homes Rehabilitation Tax Credit › Section 10-320j-4 - Standards for rehabilitation

Current through July 10, 2024
The following standards shall be used by the officer in
				certifying proposed or completed rehabilitation work to an historic
				property:
(1) A property shall be used
			 for its historic purpose or be placed in a new use that requires minimal change
			 to the defining characteristics of the building and its site and
			 environment.
(2) The historic
			 character of a property shall be retained and preserved. The removal or
			 alteration of features and spaces that characterize a property shall be
			 avoided.
(3) Each property shall be
			 recognized as a physical record of its time, place, and use. Changes that
			 create a false sense of historical development, such as adding conjectural
			 features or architectural elements from other buildings, shall not be
			 undertaken.
(4) Changes that have
			 acquired historic significance in their own right shall be retained and
			 preserved.
(5) Distinctive
			 features, finishes, and construction techniques or examples of craftsmanship
			 that characterize a property shall be preserved.
(6) Deteriorated historic features shall be
			 repaired rather than replaced. Where the severity of deterioration requires
			 replacement of a distinctive feature, the new feature shall match the old in
			 design, color, texture, and other visual qualities, and, where possible,
			 materials. Replacement of missing features shall be substantiated by
			 documentary, physical, or pictorial evidence.
(7) Chemical or physical treatments, such as
			 sandblasting, that cause damage to historic materials shall not be
			 used.
(8) Significant archeological
			 resources affected by a project shall be protected and preserved. If such
			 resources must be disturbed, mitigation measures shall be undertaken.
(9) New additions, exterior alterations, or
			 related new construction shall not destroy historic materials that characterize
			 the property. The new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be
			 compatible with the massing, size, scale, and architectural features to protect
			 the historic integrity of the property and its environment.
(10) New additions and adjacent or related
			 new construction shall be undertaken in such a manner that if removed in the
			 future, the essential form and integrity of the historic property and its
			 environment would be unimpaired.
