HISTORIC DEMOLITION NOTICES AND SURVEYS
Notices of Demolition let neighbors know when an historic property near them may be developed, as well as give residents the opportunity to nominate the property for landmark designation. City staff do Historic Surveys on these properties and provide the information they find to the Historic Preservation Commission, who can decide whether the property is eligible to become a landmark.
