From the Forum: How Will a Brownstone Facade Restoration Affect My Tenant?

A Brownstoner reader is planning a brownstone facade renovation and wants to let their tenant know how much noise and disruption to expect.

We’ve just secured financing to restore our brownstone facade, and will soon be choosing a contractor and filing permits, hoping to start in late May and get the slurry coat on by the end of June. Our tenant works from home and I want to give her a sense of how disruptive the process will be to her peace and quiet. Can anyone tell me how long the jackhammering/noisy part of removing the existing facade lasted, and also the time up into the slurry and scratch coat is on. Are the scaffolding/workers outside really noticeable?
