Opposed to 74 Revere Street development

I am writing to oppose the A-26-36 submitted to the zoning board by Basilio DiFlumeri in regards to the property at 74 Revere Street. This house was purchased by my great grandparents in 1900.

With that said, the new owner wants to get a permit to build a 10-unit, 4 story apartment building on that lot.
