INSTRUCTIONS FOR FILING
Work that Requires LPC Approval: If an owner wishes to perform any work on a designated landmark or on a property in a
designated historic district, he or she must obtain a permit from the Landmarks Preservation Commission ("LPC") approving such work
before carrying it out. The LPC reviews the proposed work to determine its effect on the significant features of the property and, in a his‐
toric district, its effect on nearby designated properties.
Applications: An application consists of an application form and all other information necessary to describe the proposed work ade‐
quately. Only complete applications can be processed. If, upon review, the LPC staff finds that an application is incomplete, the staff will
send a checklist of materials to the applicant, indicating what additional materials are required. An application that remains incomplete
three months after the applicant has been notified by LPC staff that additional materials are required to complete the application shall be
deemed to be withdrawn.
The LPC uses a single application form. Any person seeking to perform alterations, construction, reconstruction, demolition or minor
work on a landmark (including work on an interior landmark or a landmark site) or in a historic district must complete the application
form in order to secure a permit. Filing may be done by mail or in person.
All application forms must be signed by the owner of the property. An application for work on or in a cooperative building must be signed
by the President or other appropriate officer of the Co‐op Board. An application for work on or in the portions of a condominium building
in common ownership must be signed by the President or other appropriate officer of the Condominium Association. The signature of the
managing agent of the building is not sufficient, unless the managing agent is also the President or other appropriate officer of the Co‐op
Board or Condominium Association. An application for work on or in an individual condominium unit must be signed by the owner of
that unit. An attorney may sign on behalf of the building owner if the attorney has power of attorney for the owner, provided that the
attorney notes (below his or her signature) that he or she has power of attorney. Owners and their architects are encouraged to consult
with LPC staff after filing an application form.
Descriptive materials will usually have to be submitted to complete the application. The applicant should use photographs, drawings,
photo‐montages, material samples and written specifications to explain and describe the Existing Condition of the building, the
Proposed Condition of the building, and, if the information is available, the Historic or Original Condition of the building.
Depending on the type of work proposed, the descriptive materials submitted for the application should include floor plans, elevations,
sections, perspective views, and/or details of building elements. In a historic district, photographs showing the building in the context of
the nearby designated buildings and the surrounding streetscape are required.
Types of Permits
A CERTIFICATE OF NO EFFECT ON PROTECTED ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES (a "CNE") is issued when the proposed
work requires a Buildings Department permit but does not affect the significant, protected architectural features of a designated building.
For example, the LPC staff may issue a CNE for projects requiring alterations to an undesignated interior or to non‐significant features of
a rear wall. The LPC has 30 working days from the date that the LPC staff certifies the application is complete to process a CNE.
However, the issuance of a CNE usually takes less time.
A PERMIT FOR MINOR WORK (a "PMW") is issued for work on protected architectural features of a designated property when a
Buildings Department permit is not required. LPC staff may issue a PMW for projects such as exterior painting, replacing doors or
window sashes, installing storm windows, or masonry restoration. A member of the LPC staff may need to visit the site before issuing a
PMW. The LPC has 20 working days from the date that the LPC staff certifies that the application is complete to process a PMW.
A CERTIFICATE OF APPROPRIATENESS (a "COFA") is issued for work that requires a Buildings Department permit and affects
the significant, protected features of a building, or when any proposed changes cannot be found to be appropriate by the LPC staff. A
CofA maybe issued only after the proposal has been brought to a public hearing before the LPC and has been formally approved and,
where applicable, any conditions of the approval have been satisfied. The LPC holds public hearings on C of A applications on Tuesdays,
two or three times each month. In order to be considered at a public hearing, an application must be filed and certified as complete by
the LPC staff during the month preceding that public hearing. The applicant is required to contact their local community board before the
public hearing. When an applicant's work requires a C of A, the LPC must make a determination on the application within 90 working
days of the date that the LPC staff certifies that the application is complete.
NOTE: All new buildings proposed to be built in historic districts, and most enlargements to existing designated buildings, require a
Certificate of Appropriateness. All applicants must file plans for such projects with the Buildings Department and submit to the LPC an
Objection Sheet from the Buildings Department in order for the LPC staff to certify the application as complete and calendar the
application for a public hearing.
