Landmarking in NYC Doesn’t Mean Anything

During one of NYC’s Landmarking Preservation Commission’s hearings, they said no building could be higher than the original Angel Guardian Home building.
The new building being built on 63rd Street between 12th and 13th Avenue looks like it is the height or taller original building.

The proposed building had nine stories. (See here)
The Guardians of the Guardian rallied this Summer. Senator Iwen Chu and Councilmember Alexa Aviles told the community they would take care of it. (Info)
Landmarking this building didn’t mean anything – it was pointless.
The new owners are able to remove parts of the original building and have also been allowed to let the building decay. (See here) If landmarking meant something in NYC, the new owners should have been required to maintain the existing building.
