THE NYC LANDMARK PRESERVATION COMMISSION’S DESIGNATION OF TWO BUILDINGS AS PART OF A PROTECTED LANDMARK HAD A RATIONAL BASIS AND WAS NOT AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL TAKING, PETITIONER SOUGHT TO DEMOLISH THE TWO BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCT CONDOMINIUMS (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, in a full-fledged opinion by Justice Kahn, determined that the NYC Landmark Preservation Commission (LPC) acted rationally when it included two buildings among 13 others designated as a landmark, called the First Avenue Estate or FAE historic landmark. The petitioner wanted to destroy the two buildings and construct condominiums, an action prohibited by the landmark designation. The First Department further held that the landmark designation was not an unconstitutional taking. The opinion is extensive and detailed and cannot be fairly summarized here. Matter of Stahl York Ave. Co., LLC v City of New York, 2018 NY Slip Op 03653, First Dept 5-22-18
