Preservation groupies unite! Here's your new Landmarks Application resource



From our inbox...The Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation sends along word that they have introduced a
new Landmarks Application page that provides details on every application to the Landmarks Preservation Commission in Greenwich Village, NoHo, the East Village, the South Village and the Meatpacking District that requires a public hearing.

Per the release: "With this new page, you can find out critical information about current and past proposals to make changes to the exterior of a building, construct a new building, or demolish an existing building which is either landmarked or within a historic district in these neighborhoods."

At first glance this seems like an invaluable resource....This should keep us busy the next few days....

  2. South Village is MacDougal, Thompson and Sullivan Streets south of Houston. If you're selling retail space, you'd be better off calling it Soho.

Your remarks and lively debates are welcome, whether supportive or critical of the views herein. Your articulate, well-informed remarks that are relevant to an article are welcome.

However, commentary that is intended to "flame" or attack, that contains violence, racist comments and potential libel will not be published. Facts are helpful.

If you'd like to make personal attacks and libelous claims against people and businesses, then you may do so on your own social media accounts. Also, comments predicting when a new business will close ("I give it six weeks") will not be approved.
