Good news for historic preservationists. Looks like Prospect Heights will be getting landmark status soon. The Landmarks Preservation Commission is also looking at buildings in Bed-Stuy. This from NY1:

The city’s Landmarks Preservation Commission is reportedly rushing to
approve historic designations for more than a thousand buildings before
the end of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s term.

Landmarks preservation has been a priority of the Bloomberg
administration. The commission was one of the few city agencies not to
have its budget cut this year.

According to the New York Post, the number of proposed designations
includes a planned historic district in Prospect Heights with more than
860 buildings.

Other areas under consideration are a district of 40, late-19th
century homes in Bedford Stuyvesant, and roughly 100 buildings in
Ridgewood, Queens.
