Can a historic property in West Chester require HARB review before remodeling?

Yes, when the property is in West Chester Borough’s Historic District and the proposed work is within HARB’s review scope. The Borough states that HARB advises on applications to demolish, renovate, and alter buildings in the Historic District and reviews supporting materials such as written documents, images, and, when relevant, floor plans. The property’s district status and proposed work should be confirmed before the remodeling path is defined.
