Landmark Violations, Solved: Historic Property Legalization & Restoration Compliance

🏛️ Landmark Violations, Solved: Historic Property Legalization & Restoration Compliance

Landmark violations are issued when work is done on a landmarked or historic property without proper approval from the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) or local historic board.
These violations typically involve exterior alterations, window replacements, façade repairs, or signage installations made without prior permits.
To clear them, owners must restore the property to approved conditions or file for legalization with agency oversight.


🚨 Common Landmark Violation Causes

  • Unapproved façade or window replacement
  • Painting, cleaning, or resurfacing historic masonry without LPC permit
  • Installation of signs, awnings, or lighting without review
  • Replacement of doors, cornices, or decorative elements not matching original design
  • Unauthorized rooftop additions, decks, or mechanical equipment

🧰 How We Help

  • Review your landmark violation and building history records
  • Coordinate with architects and preservation consultants to prepare restoration or legalization drawings
  • Submit LPC legalization or restoration applications
  • Coordinate hearings, photo documentation, and on-site inspections
  • Work directly with LPC or local Historic Preservation Office to close your case

Ongoing support: we help property owners maintain compliance by planning future repairs and restorations in line with LPC or historic district requirements.

💰 Fine Reduction & Settlement

Landmark violations can carry hefty civil penalties, but many can be reduced once the work is legalized or corrected. We assist in:

  • Filing mitigation and settlement requests after compliance
  • Negotiating reduced penalties for prior unapproved work
  • Submitting proof of correction and compliance certificates
  • Obtaining final “Closed – Complied” or “LPC Legalized” status

🕐 Why Act Now

Unresolved landmark violations can delay renovations, block permits, and reduce property value. Acting now ensures your building remains protected, compliant, and historically accurate — while avoiding further fines or restoration orders.
