BETTER BUILDINGS
An informational service by RAND Engineering & Architecture, DPC
Landmarks Preservation Commission
A Guide to Successfully Navigating the LPC Application Process
WHAT IS A LANDMARK?
A landmark is a building, property,
or object that has special historical,
aesthetic, or characteristic value to
the development, heritage or cultural
characteristics of the locale. In New York
City landmarks are designated by the
Landmarks Preservation Commission

in addition to identifying the city’s
landmarks.
WHAT ARE THE TYPES OF
LANDMARK DESIGNATIONS?
A landmark can be categorized into one
of four types:

Designated by the LPC for an interior
space. The public must be able to access
the interior.
řǯȱŒŽ—’ŒȱŠ—–Š›”
Designated by the LPC for a landscape
feature or group of features. Must be
situated on city property.

ation of a period or style of architecture
typical to the area thus creating a
“sense of place.” Districts may also be
designated due to cultural or social
œ’—’ęŒŠ—ŒŽǯ
HOW DO I FIND OUT IF MY
BUILDING IS A LANDMARK?
Visit the Department of Building (DOB)
website. Search the address of the
building. If the site is denoted with an
“L,” it is a landmark. If denoted with
a “C” (calendared) the site is currently
under review or consideration. The
application process is the same for both
“L” and “C” designated properties. The
application for work on a “C” site will

DO I NEED TO APPLY TO LPC?
Owners are required by law to obtain
a permit before work begins on
landmarked properties. Application is

such as sidewalk sheds)
ARE THERE VARYING TYPES OF

An application is distinguished by the
impact the proposed work will have on
the protected architectural elements.
The amount of change determines the
permit required.

When I first heard about energy efficiency, I thought, “How much could changing light bulbs really save me?”
But after talking to a Multifamily Performance Partner approved by The New York State Energy Research and
Development Authority (NYSERDA), I discovered that there are lots of ways to improve systems and cut waste.
Now, my building earns an average annual return on investment of 22 percent. And all I had to do was ask.

“The 1990 US law, the Visual Artists Rights Act,
AND YOUR BUILDING”
Margie Russell’s interview with Richard A. Altman, Esq.
A June 15, 2014 article in the New York Times
caught my attention. It said that many developers
and building owners are hiring contemporary artists
as part of their marketing strategies. Whether it is to
install art in the public spaces of their buildings, or to
create works just for buyers of apartments, or as part
of a sales center, developers are increasingly hiring
art consultants and artists, just as they hire architects and engineers.
I reached out to interview Richard A. Altman,
a New York attorney who has litigated some of the
PRVWVLJQL¿FDQWFDVHVLQWKLVDUHD,IRXQGVRPHRQH
whose objective is to ease the process of formalizing
the relationship between the building owner and the
artist. This interview opens a window as to how ownership can gain a greater understanding and awareness when navigating the pitfalls of permitting artists
to install original works of art in, on, or around their
buildings.
Understanding the complexities is crucial, Mr.
Altman explains. “It starts with an understanding of a
1990 US law called, THE VISUAL ARTIST RIGHTS
ACT. It addresses the subject of such art, and provides powerful protections for the artists whose works
are used by buildings. Those protections can include
preventing the removal or destruction of a work of art
for the artist’s lifetime, or its alteration (or even placement) without the artist’s consent, and can lead to
expensive and usually highly public litigation. While
those rights can be precisely set out and limited by
contracts with the artist, the legal landscape is tricky,
depending, for example, on whether the work of art
was created before or after 1990, who has title to the
work, whether it is installed in such a way as to be
easily removable (a painting on the wall, or a sculpWXUHEROWHGWRWKHÀRRURUE\FRQWUDVWZKHWKHULWLV
so intrinsic to the real estate that to remove it is to
destroy it (such as mosaic tiles, or a light installation), and so on.”
Mr. Altman’s involvement with landmark cases
put him at the forefront of understanding the risks
facing building owners and developers. He cites a
New York statute from 1984, in addition to the US
ODZZKLFKSHUKDSVSURYLGHVHYHQJUHDWHUEHQH¿WVWR
artists, called the ARTIST’S AUTHORSHIP RIGHTS
24
June 15, 2014
ACT. This law, which authorized an injunction against
a building owner who threatened removal of an artwork, can have a severe impact when it prevents destruction, even if only temporarily. “Both of these laws
represent attempts to enact so-called ‘moral rights’
laws, which have long existed in Europe, and they
are based on the idea that the artist retains certain
rights of personality embodied in his creations,” says
Altman. He further explains that, “They are an unHDV\¿WZLWKWKH$PHULFDQOHJDOV\VWHPXQGHUZKLFK
art is simply personal property that can be bought
and sold, and, once installed in a building, becomes
VLPSO\D¿[WXUHLQWKHOHJDOVHQVH
Building owners and developers should realize
that there have been cases in which artists have succeeded in preventing removal of their art, and have
even been awarded damages for its destruction.
However, careful attention to the agreement between
the artist and the developer/owner can prevent litigation with such unexpected consequences, and it can

the artist who gains through increased public exposure, and the developer/owner whose property is enhanced”. On October 29, 2014, as part of NYARM’s
all day Expo, Richard A. Altman, Esq. will conduct a
seminar delving into these legal issues.
Mr. Altman’s focus is
intellectual property law,
including copyright and
trademark litigation,
internet law and defamation, and art law, involving recovery of stolen art,
auctions, artists’ rights,
and artist-dealer-building
relations. He can be

Housing Options Exist Outside NYC Limits
By Margie Russell
WYANDANCH RISING, a new transit hub under
development in the hamlet of Wyandanch, Town of Babylon, Western Suffolk County, is a community poised to
be the next enclave of art galleries, destination-music
and wine tasting events, focusing on locally driven purveyors. The immediate area beyond the development
also happens to be a community where market rate
housing IS affordable, having come by its affordability
naturally. These and similar communities, when developed wisely have the ability to ease the needs of housing in NYC as an organic part of the whole picture by
providing other opportunities that can only help working
New Yorkers, whether or not the housing option exists
within NYC limits.
The Albanese Organization website tells us that
they are, “Master Developer of Wyandanch Village, a
40-acre, $500 million sustainable, mixed income, transit

total of approximately 222,000 square feet, including
177 residential units and 37,500 square feet of retail,
restaurant and gallery space. The third will be a commercial building of approximately 77,000 square feet.”
www.albaneseorg.com
The Project Type: Mixed-income, Mixed-use Transit Oriented Development on 40 Acres, designed by Beatty, Harvey, Coco Architects. The brainchild of Suffolk
County Executive Steve Bellone, back when he was the
Town Babylon Supervisor, this became a top project on
the island thanks to dedicated teamwork participants including Empire State Development.
From a June 23, 2014 Newsday article by DENISE
M. BONILLA we learn that approximately 1,500 households pursued 177 rental apartments in Wyandanch
Rising, the majority of which will be affordable housing.
The large application numbers show a trend developing
momentum. Recently over 53,000 applied for 87 affordable units that were earmarked for artists in East Harlem. There developers are converting abandoned public school PS 109 into live/work housing for artists and
their families and 13,000 square feet of complementary
space for arts organizations.
The difference between these two developments
is that in Wyandanch there are plenty of private affordable housing opportunities, well within walking distance
of the new main development. The most important point
is that affordable exists. The Wyandanch community
happens to be on Long island, yet it is no further in mass
transit time than a subway ride to an outer borough. PriYDWH HIIRUWV FDQ SUR¿W E\ FRQWLQXLQJ ZLWK WKH GHYHORSPHQWHIIRUWWKDWDOUHDG\KDVPDGHVLJQL¿FDQWSURJUHVV

I am certain many of the households that unfortunately don’t win housing lotteries, would consider living
in a newly renovated home, on a private piece of land,
through a rent-to-own arrangement that someday they
can call their own. And because this organic effort is intended to be private investment driven, the more strident
(top and bottom) income restrictions, along with other
criterion, would be lessened allowing for more participation. Unlike the East Harlem development where qualifyLQJWHQDQWVPXVWEHDUWLVWVDQGPXVWPHHWVSHFL¿FLQcome and household size requirements and, 50% of the

community. This leaves a lot of people out in the cold.
Wyandanch Rising will be a destination in and of
itself, attractive to both young adults requiring regular
mass transit access to midtown and baby boomers who
wish to enjoy retirement years on Long Island with easy
DFFHVVWRZKDWWKHFLW\KDVWRRIIHU\HWDSSUHFLDWH¿QGing similar activities at home.
Living within walking distance of a transit hub also
offers both convenience and ecologic soundness and,
along with other similar multi-use properties they add
range, cultural & professional variety to the needs of
business, home and play. Within the year I see Suffolk
County and New York State: WINE, ART and MUSIC,
being the regular features at Wyandanch Rising and,
the locale being an affordable place to live not only for
emerging artists but a convenient comfortable home to
some of New York City’s labor force.
