New York City’s historic districts, like Greenwich Village or Brooklyn Heights, impose strict preservation rules on property alterations. Buyers must secure Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) approval for exterior changes, including window replacements or façade repairs. Non-compliance risks fines or reversals. While these properties offer architectural charm, renovation costs and timelines often exceed standard projects. Tax incentives exist for certified restorations, but navigating paperwork requires expertise. Buyers should review a property’s designation status and consult preservation specialists during due diligence.
