In a bid to protect some of the city’s oldest structures, Mayor Eric Adams on Friday unveiled a plan to bolster enforcement for buildings designated as historic landmarks that are at risk because of unknown structural flaws, neglectful owners or unauthorized contractor work.
The plan calls for better early detection of risks for designated buildings, stronger oversight of engineering and improved communication and coordination between the city Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) and Department of Buildings (DOB), and improved community outreach — according to City Hall.
