Good afternoon Amber,
Our email is back up and running! Thank you for your patience. Please see attached Certificate of Compliance draft for
your project at 515 Rock Street. Please review and let me know if the COC is reflective of your full project scope. I will
then sign and send back to you for your records.
Was our permit team able to answer your question about the asbestos report?

Good morning Amber,
I have received the application for exterior repair at 515 Rock Street. Could you please provide photos of the existing
porch ceiling and the sections of fascia and exterior siding that will be repaired/replaced? I’ll be able to review your
application following the receipt of the photos showing the existing features.

Hey Hannah,
Attached is the application form! Additionally, here is the link for the shingles we will be going back on the roof with,
I've also attached a flyer with information on it as well. The customer likes the look of the Storm Grey and believes it
will match the current building well.

Good afternoon Amber,
Thanks for your call! Here is a link to the Certificate of Appropriateness application for the roofing work you are
planning at 515 Rock Street: https://www.littlerock.gov/media/17589/historic-district-commission-2022-application-

The property at 515 Rock Street is within the MacArthur Park Local Ordinance Historic District. The goal of the local
ordinance historic district is to protect and preserve the unique and valued qualities of such an area, its urban design,
architectural character, and historic materials in buildings and in landscapes. A property owner in this district is
subject to the rules and regulations as set forth by the City of Little Rock ordinances, Municipal Code Chapter 23, Sec.
76-160, that is based on Arkansas State law. Any exterior renovation of structures, additions, fencing, or other site
features need to be either administratively approved by staff or reviewed by the Little Rock Historic District
Commission at their regularly monthly public meetings.
For information for the Historic District Commission and the MacArthur Park Design Guidelines, please visit the City’s
website: littlerock.gov
Click on Government > Planning & Development
On the right-hand menu find Boards & Commissions
Scroll down to Historic District Commission
In this section, you will find information regarding the HDC, the design guidelines and the application process.
The reroof and the soffit/fascia repair you mentioned can be reviewed at the staff level. You will need to check with
Permits to see if the reroof requires a permit. You can describe all scope of work items in one application for
convenience. I did locate a previously approved Certificate of Compliance dated March 1991 for a reroof using asphalt
shingles. The existing roof is not original, though it is definitely old. Based on historical evidence through the Sanborn
Fire Insurance maps and photo archives, the original roof was wood shingles – see attached photo fi you are
interested in some fun history. The residence was home to the Narkinsky family, a Jewish family who lived in Little
Rock in the early 20th century.
Lastly, will there be any work done to the front or rear porch roofs?
