SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

The skill determines whether a NYC building is individually landmarked or within a historic district using LPC data, helping architects and planners quickly assess regulatory implications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Input flexibility: Accepts an address, BBL, or BIN to resolve status.
  • Data source integration: Cross-checks PLUTO and LPC datasets to provide landmark, designation date, LP number, and district information.
  • Use Case: A designer reviews a site at 120 Broadway and immediately understands whether LPC approvals apply before design decisions.

Quick Start

Provide a NYC building address, BBL, or BIN to fetch its landmark designation and historic district information.

FAQPage Schema
How do I check if a NYC building is in a historic district or individually landmarked?

Check NYC landmark status by providing an address, BBL, or BIN to cross-reference PLUTO and LPC datasets, which returns the individual landmark designation, LP number, and historic district information for the property.

Can I look up LPC landmark designation dates using a BIN?

Yes, you can look up LPC landmark designation dates using a BIN. The tool resolves the BIN via PLUTO and queries the LPC dataset to return the designation date, style, and district information without requiring an API key.

Do I need an API key to query NYC landmark data for an address?

You do not need an API key to query NYC landmark data. The tool resolves addresses directly through PLUTO and LPC datasets to return landmark status and district information in a structured format.

What is the best way to find historic district status for a specific BBL in NYC?

Finding historic district status for a specific BBL involves inputting the BBL directly, allowing the tool to cross-check PLUTO and LPC datasets to determine if the property falls within a regulated historic district.

Does address normalization affect how LPC landmark status is resolved?

Address normalization is handled internally during the PLUTO resolution process, ensuring varied address formats are standardized correctly before querying the LPC dataset for accurate landmark and historic district results.
