Petition HP-21-00022. Joshua Shatkin, Shatkin Architecture, agent for Julie Thaler, owner. Certificate of Appropriateness to construct a covered walkway and exterior stairs, and add a new balcony and dormer with exterior doors onto a single-family dwelling. Located at 400 NE 13th Avenue.

The other addition is a second floor balcony with a new dormer on the north side of the building with access from the second floor bedroom.
