NYC Landmarks Preservation Commission

The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) is a city agency responsible for identifying and protecting buildings, sites, and neighborhoods that have historical, cultural, or aesthetic significance. By designating landmarks, the LPC ensures these cherished parts of New York City's heritage are preserved for future generations. It oversees regulations related to alterations, restorations, and demolition to maintain the landmark’s integrity, balancing development with preservation. The LPC plays a key role in maintaining the city's unique architectural identity and historical character.
