Amazing New Resource — Every Landmark Designation in NYC Now Catalogued

Village Preservation is proud to offer an amazing new resource never before available. We have catalogued by date and type every one of the 40,000 properties landmarked in New York City — VIEW IT HERE.

While information on all landmark designations in NYC have been available for some time, there has been no one place where one could see when each designation was made chronologically, to get a clear sense of when and how designations of various types, and in different locations, have taken place.

This incredibly useful resource came out of our recently released report, Analyzing New York City Landmark Designations: A Review of Mayoral Influence and Policy, 1965 to the Present, which showed how landmark designations have dropped dramatically under Mayor Adams, and since a real estate industry–supported bill we vociferously opposed was passed in late 2016. This comprehensive list that grew out of the report will be updated regularly to include every new designation when they are added.
