GVSHP
Preservation Watch program -- a way to help ensure that serious
landmarks violations are reported and the landmarks law enforced, and to
preserve our neighborhoods historic integrity.
GVSHP wants to ensure that
landmarks violations are reported and acted upon as swiftly and thoroughly as
possible. That is why we want you to know how you can report a landmarks
violation to the City, and how you can report it to GVSHP to help advocate for
its solution.
If you see something which you
believe may be a landmarks violation (destruction/inappropriate alteration of
or unpermitted work upon a landmark structure or structure in a historic
district), heres what you can do:
- * See if there is a permit from the LPC posted (it should be on the
front of the building, next to a permit from the Department of Buildings); if
there is, and it describes the work you see being done, then it has been
approved by the LPC
- * If there is no permit, confirm that it is a landmark structure or
in a historic district (if you dont know, click on maps
below of historic districts in Greenwich Village, the East Village, and
Noho to determine if the structure is in a district, or you can call or e-mail
GVSHP to ask. If the building is not regulated by LPC, it does not need their
permission for work, and the work cannot be a violation of landmarks law)
- * If you think it may be unpermitted work or work which violates
landmarks law, report it to GVSHP right away, and we can help determine if it
may be a violation, and help you report it and ask for an inspection as soon as
possible.
- * If you are sure it is a violation of landmarks law, or the
situation seems urgent and needing immediate attention, you can file a
complaint and request an inspection from the LPC by
CLICKING
HERE for an LPC complaint form in PDF format (you can also report
violations to LPC violations inspections officer Diane Simonson
at

dsimonson@lpc.nyc.gov).
Please forward a copy of your complaint/inspection request to GVSHP for us to
follow up on.
- * If you believe the situation presents an imminent danger, call the
police.
