Violations & Fines
Proceeding with exterior work, demolition, relocation, or signage on a designated Landmark Site without an approved Certificate of Appropriateness blocks issuance of the building permit itself, since the Commission's approval is the gate the Zoning Administrator checks first. A demolition decision can be deferred by the Commission for up to one year, and a demolition permit "shall not be issued until the applicable appeal period has expired." Any aggrieved party can appeal a Commission decision to the City Council within 21 days; filing the appeal stays the decision except where the appeal challenges a one-year demolition deferral.
