“The Friars exterior is a designated city landmark, so Extell can’t make changes without Landmarks Preservation Commission approval.”
INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE
The claim states the exterior is a designated landmark, requiring LPC approval for changes. However, the evidence suggests the opposite or at least contradicts the premise of absolute restriction. One source notes the building was designated a landmark in 2016, but another source mentions the city's review power over the property extends only to a *new* project, implying past or different types of changes might be permissible or that the landmark status is complex, contradicting the absolute nature of the claim.
