Historic Preservation Commission support in Jersey City
If your property is in a historic district (or is a landmark), your scope may require review by the City’s Historic Preservation Commission (HPC/HPO). We help you produce a clean, complete package that reviewers can approve—then we track it through revisions so the project can move.
What we handle
- Existing conditions photos + field verification
- Scope narratives (what changes, what stays, why)
- Material + color specifications aligned with historic context
- Coordination with architect / consultants as required
- Revision tracking so resubmittals are fast and clean
Common HPC scopes
- Storefront + façade alterations
- Windows / doors
- Roofline elements, cornices, railings
- Masonry repair and repointing
- Exterior paint palettes and finishes
How to make approvals easier
- Show precedent: context photos + neighboring details
- Specify materials: profiles, finish, sheen, and color chips
- Keep drawings legible and consistent (no contradictions between sheets)
- Document existing conditions thoroughly—especially damage + prior alterations
