Landmarks Preservation Commission tosses the Coney Island Pumping Station off its calendar
That’s a slap in the face for Coney Island preservationists.
Advocates who urged the city to grant landmark protection to the decommissioned Coney Island Pumping Station got bad news on Tuesday.
The Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) decided to remove the former 1930s-vintage Fire Service Pumping Station from its calendar for landmarks designation consideration.
At a special public meeting held at the preservation agency’s Lower Manhattan headquarters, commissioners voted to issue a “no action letter” about the pumping station at 2301 Neptune Ave.
