Press Conference

City Council Member Rosie Mendez is sponsoring new legislation that would void previously obtained Buildings Department permits for work on buildings that have been landmarked. What does that mean? Well, buildings like Charas/PS 64 in the East Village, which was damaged by the owner after it was landmarked in June 2006, would have been protected had the legislation been in place. Of course, this legislation certainly wouldn't save buildings that were damaged by developers during the landmarking process (like the Dakota Stables ), but it is definitely sounds like a step in the right direction. The legislation could bring more fairness and transparency to the landmarking process.

Here are the press conference details:

Where: City Hall Steps
When: Wednesday, March 14th, 10:00 A.M.
