Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: As seen in April 2020: one of the more controversial construction projects to occur in Buffalo in recent years was that of the two-family house designed and built by the development team of Sal Zambito and Tim Sick at 728 Linwood Avenue (corner West Delavan Avenue). The duo purchased the 23-foot-wide parcel in 2011 but spent the next five years tied up with legal disputes on multiple fronts: with the city's Building Department and Zoning Board of Appeals who initially declined to issue waivers allowing construction on a lot that would ordinarily be too narrow to build on per city codes; with the Preservation Board who objected to the one-story height and stone cladding in the original design; with the neighbor next door who objected to having his views of nearby Forest Lawn Cemetery obstructed. In 2016, the city's Law Department cleared the way for construction to begin, noting that there was a house occupying the lot at the time the zoning code was enacted in 1950 (it was demolished in 1979 after a fire) and thus the site was exempt from the lot-size restrictions. The house was built out, and the units put on the market for an initial asking price of $350K each, the following year. |
