New York Supreme Court August 18, 2011 (Allison v. New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Lucy Billings, J.

This proceeding requires the court to determine what interests and injuries New York City’s Landmarks Preservation and Historic Districts Law protects, so as to confer standing for persons without a property or contractual interest in the landmark, which would confer standing absent the statutory protection.
