[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]are you in the Cap HIll Historic District?  If so, you have to submit plans - that's as far as my attempt to do exactly the same as you want to do OP, went.  My neighbor disregarded the HIstoric District and got slammed for installing much better window frames but not ones that were aesthetically pleasing.  She had to yank everything out[/quote]

[b]OP here—yep, that’s exactly where we are. What happened with your planning? [/quote][/b]

I gave up once I learned I had to file with the Historic District.  They are not inclined to allow anything that will disrupt the exterior aged look of a rowhouse (like my neighbor's new windows, I guess).   I told one Design Build firm that it was their responsibility to get the sun room plan approved.  Never heard from them after.  The Historic District can be very very tough.[/quote]

Same PP as above.  I did a quick google.  Here's the historic district turning down an application for a sunroom.  Dated (2010), I know, but still an example of what you are going to go through.  It wasn't worth my time.  https://planning.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/op/publication/attachments/Ward_6_BZA_Case_18032.pdf[/quote]
