How are Endangered Properties Program properties protected?
To ensure proper preservation and maintenance of Endangered Properties Program properties, the Trust attaches protective covenants to the deed. If rehabilitation is required, the purchaser must sign a rehabilitation agreement based on the work to be undertaken. New owners are not asked to perform museum-quality restorations, but are obliged to follow the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation. Both the protective covenants and the rehabilitation measures will be monitored by the Trust.
