John Keys, the property owner, began painting the exterior of the duplex at 2601-2605 Hazel.
Staff cited Mr. Keys for painting the brick without a certificate of appropriateness. He began

be painted unless the applicant establishes that the color and texture of replacement brick cannot
be matched with that of the existing brick surface or that painting is necessary to restore or
preserve the brick itself."
Mr. Keys states that the building has settled and is repairing the brick and having to caulk in a
