Quogue design board unanimously denies demolition permit for 107 Jessup Avenue

The Quogue Design Review Board (referred to on air as QUAG) voted unanimously to deny a demolition permit for 107 Jessup Avenue, preserving a house that local coverage described as historically significant to the community's Black and Indigenous history.

"The 5 members of the QUAG Design Review Board voted unanimously to deny the demolition permit for 107 Jessup Avenue," the broadcast reported, and said the developer withdrew the current application and had not filed replacement plans as of Aug. 28. The segment framed the decision as a pause while the house remains standing and said the outlet would provide updates.

The program did not list the board members' names or the grounds used for denial in its report. The denial was presented as a local design-board action rather than a court or historic-designation ruling.
