Landmarking Commission considers backlogged Brooklyn properties today
A half-century is a looong time to wait.
Today’s the big day for seven historic Brooklyn properties that were first considered for city landmarks designation up to 50 years ago — when John Lindsay was mayor.
The city Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) is holding the first of its public hearings to gather testimony about “Backlog95” — 95 historic sites throughout the five boroughs that were calendared long ago but never received a final decision about their status from the preservation agency.
