FAQ
Pennington questions
01Does Pennington’s historic commission review a kitchen or bathroom remodel?
Not the inside of the house. Pennington’s HPC doesn’t review interiors, paint or stain, roofing, fencing, landscaping, mechanical units, solar, or work that can’t be seen from a street. In the Crossroads Historic District it reviews changes visible from the street at the front or side: doors, windows, chimneys, gutters, siding, porches, trim and demolition.
02Which houses are in Pennington’s historic district?
The Pennington Crossroads Historic District covers Main Street and Delaware Avenue, more than 120 buildings. If you’re not sure about your house, ask the borough before you plan exterior work.
03Can a small exterior job skip a full HPC hearing?
Minor work, such as only windows or only siding, can be approved at a site meeting with the HPC Chair. The full HPC meets on the third Tuesday at 7:30 pm, only when there is business.
