Pursuant to Section 25-310 of the Administrative Code of the City of New York, the Landmarks Preservation
Commission hereby approves certain alterations to the subject premises as proposed in your application completed
on September 3, 2002.
The approved work consists of cleaning the exterior of the building, including the facade and roof, of debris
related to the collapse of the World Trade Center, including, at the facade, removing all loose debris using,
on the horizontal surfaces, non-metallic bristle brushes or scrapers, followed up by wet wiping and a low
pressure water rinse of not more than 250 PSI, and, at the roof, collecting all loose debris, washing loose
gravel, and wet wiping other surfaces, as described in specifications prepared the City of New York
Department of Environmental Protection and submitted as components of this application.
In reviewing this proposal, the Commission notes that the Individual Landmark Designation Report describes 55
Liberty Street (Liberty Tower) as a Gothic style skyscraper designed by Henry Ives Cobb and constructed in
1900. The Commission also notes that there is some debris on the roof and facade.
Staff has reviewed these specifications and finds that the work on the facade and roof will not require the
removal of any significant protected architectural material; that it
will
bring the appearance of the
building closer to its original condition; and that it will not detract from the architectural character of
the building or streetscape. Therefore, the Commission has no objection to the work proceeding at this time,
or the issuance of permits by any other city agency.
