Any alteration, #incidental alteration# or minor work done to the #street wall# of any #building# or portion of any #building#
shall be accomplished in such matter that:

(a)    such #street wall# is treated with consistent materials, color and texture from the top of any ground floor windows or
        #sign# board to the top or the parapet, or to the bottom of a cornice if a cornice exists (access doors or panels, grilles or
        similar features shall be as inconspicuous as possible); and

(b)    where such #street wall# treatment covers any window opening, it shall completely cover all window openings in the #street
       wall#; or

(c)    where window openings remain uncovered, all windows shall be treated in a similar manner or, if sealed, all windows shall
        be covered by a panel set at least two inches behind the plane of the wall. Except where the material used to seal window
        openings is the same as the wall of the #building#, the window panel shall have a single color over its entire surface. All
        such window panels shall have the same color.
