Werner, I don't understand, there is nothing that requires the
buildings to be restored? Is there anything preventing demolition? I
thought that they had to be restored to state standards? Is that
only IF work is done and there is nothing to compel actual
restoration? In other words, they can be left to rot?
If this is so, it is even more important that a local
preservation/landmarking body is created with the power of
enforcement. Werner, if (I know its a big word) the city actually
wanted to set this up, is there anything on the state level that
would preclude this? While the LPC in NYC has not traditionally
compelled restoration, I believe they are now starting to do so in
cases where it is obvious that the owners are letting the properties
rot. I agree that it is not fair in some instances.
It would be worth it for the Casino to be exempt from taxes if it
were restored and primarily for public use.
What was this council thinking when it sold these buildings with no
requirement for restoration?
