Only two actual preservationists sit on the Landmarks Preservation Commission.
These and other fun facts on de Blasio’s reign of terror vs. the city’s architectural heritage are covered in a Daily News piece from last February.
Eric Uhlfelder opined that “One of [just resigned in disgrace LPC chair] Srinivasan’s first actions upon taking over LPC, according to sources inside the commission, was instructing her staff to take off their preservation hats. The agency has since seen a significant exodus of experienced staff and landmarked areas compromised.”
De Blasio and is deputy turned LPC into a travesty of a preservation organization.
