The Historic Districts Council will present a free breakfast talk by Landmarks Preservation Commission Deputy Counsel John Weiss on Monday, September 14 at 8:30AM at the Neighborhood Preservation Center, 232 East 11th Street, Manhattan. Some city landmarks protected under New York’s Landmarks Law are being left to fall down -- an offense known as demolition-by-neglect. The Landmarks Preservation Commission has the authority, when things get bad enough, to take the owners to court.
Weiss will talk about the legal process the LPC follows in such cases and the potential legal outcomes of such cases, including an overview of some high profile demolition-by-neglect cases the LPC is currently handling.
Because space is limited, reservations are required. For more information, contact Lauren Belfer, HDC community coordinator, at (212) 614-9107 or lbelfer@hdc.org.
