As required by the New York City Charter, construction proposals that require a Certificate of Appropriateness (CofA) are presented to the local Community Board prior to the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) public hearing.
Review Process & Timing
- BKCB2 Land Use Committee presentation & local public review
- Full Board vote on the Committee’s recommendation/s
- District Office sends a Memo of Resolution to the LPC in advance of their public hearing and binding decision
Our District is home to 10 of the 41 Historic Districts in Brooklyn. Due to the volume of inquiries, applications are placed on agendas first-come and only after receipt of all requested materials.
Download instructions here and please read the LPC’s guidance regarding Community Board review (#8; required by City law) vs. requests from local preservation groups (#11).
Submissions for the Wed 01.07 docket are due no later than Fri 12.19 but we recommend submitting as early as possible for guaranteed and priority placement in the agenda.
Community Boards observe a summer recess in July and August and do not review private residential applications during these months; please plan accordingly.
