The property is zoned RSA-5. The underlying zoning approval authorizes an attached building with a roof deck and roof access structure for two-family household living. The zoning drawings show a 665.52-square-foot lot and a 594.72-square-foot building footprint, with approximately 70.80 square feet of rear-yard area. The site plan places the three-story structure between existing two-story rowhouses at 5621 and 5625 Appletree Street. A roof deck occupies the upper portion of the building, with a 72-square-foot pilot house providing stair access. The front elevation depicts a brick-faced facade with an elevated entrance, exterior stairs, paired and single windows, and a third-story setback aligned behind the lower facade.
