Summary

Sixty years after the NYC Landmarks Law was passed, we’re taking a closer look at how landmark status is decided – and why it matters. Meenakshi Srinivasan, former Chair and Commissioner of the Landmarks Preservation Commission, joins us to explain how buildings earn protection, who makes the call, and how preservation fits into a city that’s always changing. From iconic facades to hidden gems, we explore what it really means to preserve New York’s past for its future. Want to learn more about REBNY? Visit https://www.rebny.com/
