Important Department of Buildings Hearing!

The Historic Districts Council Blog is reporting that the City Council will be holding a Public Forum on the Department of Buildings on Monday, December 4th at University Hall (110 East 14th Street, just east of 4th Avenue).

Why is this important for preservation advocates? Just think of how many times developers were able to get permits to demolish or alter buildings that were being considered by the Landmarks Preservation Commission. Clearly, this is a government loophole that has to be closed and a unified voice from the preservation community at this forum could be a good first step to getting it done.

If you have the time, consider attending the forum and saying a few words.
