Perform work on a landmarked property
Before doing certain kinds of work on landmark properties, building owners or tenants need to apply for a permit from the Landmarks Preservation Commission. By law, the Commission must review any proposals for alterations to landmark buildings and determine whether they have any effect on the significant features of a building or a historic district.

Report a violation of the landmarks law
Owners must keep designated properties in good repair and obtain a Commission permit if the work will affect a landmark’s exterior or if the work requires a Department of Building permit. Violations of the Landmarks Law occur either when work is done on a Landmark without a permit or when work does not comply with a permit.
