There are over 25,000 buildings in New York City that are overseen and regulated by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. These buildings range from rowhouses in Brooklyn Heights to commercial buildings in Midtown Manhattan and include prominent well-known structures such as Grand Central Terminal, the Chrysler Building and Tweed Courthouse. Projects affecting these buildings require not only working with a special municipal agency, but understanding the basic philosophy of historic preservation as it is practiced in New York.
Hear from experts who will detail case studies of real preservation projects and discuss new methods and materials. Get answers to frequently-asked questions about the regulatory process and working with Landmarks Preservation Commission.
Attendees will come away with a better understanding of the Landmarks process, which will greatly help with future projects affecting historic properties.
