LPC Renovates Owner Manual!
The Landmarks Preservation Commission has updated and revamped its Rowhouse Manual, a handbook that assists owners of the buildings that lie within New York City’s 116 historic districts and extensions maintain their special properties. It also offers step-by-step instructions on how to work successfully and efficiently with the Commission throughout the permit process.
New York City’s character stems not only from its towering, 20th-and -21st-century skyline, but also from the 19th-century low-scale brownstone, limestone, brick and wood clapboard rowhouses that line many of its streets and avenues. Preserving and protecting their character is truly a partnership between the Commission and property owners, and the latest version of the manual is designed to reflect our commitment to this collaboration.
