What types of permits does the Landmarks Commission issue?
The Commission issues Certificates of No Effect, Permits for Minor Work, and Certificates of Appropriateness. The type of permit issued depends upon the proposed work. After you submit the completed Application Form for Work on Designated Properties, the Landmarks Commission staff will determine which type of permit could be issued based on your description of the proposed work. The permit is issued in the form of a letter from the Landmarks Commission to the applicant. The permit describes the proposed work and explains why it has been approved. The permit must be posted prominently at the building while the work is underway. If the permit is denied, the Landmarks Commission sends a letter to the applicant stating the reasons why the proposed work was found to be inappropriate. The applicant may then choose to revise the proposal and submit a new application.
