Individual landmark designation under Administrative Code section 25-302 requires Landmarks Preservation Commission research, calendaring, public hearing, commissioner vote, and a 120-day City Council window to modify or disapprove the action.
Admin Code section 25-302 lets LPC designate individual landmarks, interior landmarks, scenic landmarks, and historic districts when a property is at least 30 years old and possesses special character or historical, aesthetic, or architectural value. The process under section 25-303 begins with Request for Evaluation, calendaring by majority vote, public hearing, and final designation vote. The City Council under section 25-303(g) can modify or disapprove within 120 days by majority vote, subject to mayoral veto override. Once designated, owners must maintain the property in good repair under section 25-311 and submit any work proposal for LPC review under sections 25-305 through 25-309.
Demolition by neglect violates Admin Code 25-311 and can trigger civil penalties of $250 per day plus mandatory repair orders. Failure to maintain a designated property exposes owners to HPD receivership and DOB unsafe-building proceedings. Misrepresenting history can prompt reconsideration.
