Gene Warnke, working for Irving Levy, applied for a building permit to convert 847 Asylum Avenue into a rooming house.

The architect for the project was W. E. Becker.
The planned conversion would have no more than 12 “sleeping rooms” and “24 roomers.”
The specific work that Warnke would do included:

“build[ing] a stud and sheet rock partition for the passageway connecting front and rear stairways on 1^st and 3^rd floors”
“build[ing] stud and plaster board partiions for bathrooms on 1^st & 3^rd floors”
“enclos[ing] stairways as shown on plans”

Warnke put Irving Levy’s address as “c/o Mrs. G. Berman, 750 Main St.”

I haven’t seen the plans to which Warnke referred in his permit application.

Irving Levy bought 847 Asylum Avenue from Mary Plimpton and Grace Plimpton on October 8, 1946.

The city’s building division will approve the permit application on May 4, 1950.
Sam Rogers will apply for a plumbing permit for work at 847 Asylum Avenue on June 19, 1950.
A municipal inspector will visit the project on May 6, 1950, and again on June 29, 1950.
On November 2, 1950, a municipal inspector will declare the work completed.
The city will issue a certificate of occupancy on November 8, 1950.
William Ahern, a resident of 847 Asylum Avenue, will die on November 28, 1950.

City of Hartford. “Building Permit No. 8142-HR,” Building Division, March 22, 1950, approved May 4, 1950.
