are the same as the criteria for work on other buildings.

However, if a not-for-profit organization applies for a permit to demolish or alter a tax-exempt property on grounds of hardship, the law provides a different standard for establishing the hardship. The organization must prove, among other things, that the landmark building is no longer adequate or suitable for carrying out the organization's charitable purposes. If you have any questions about hardship procedures for tax-exempt properties, call the Commission at 212-669-7700.

Is being designated a New York City landmark different from being listed on the National Register? Yes. The National Register of Historic Places is a list of buildings and sites of local, state, or national importance. This program is administered by the National Park Service through the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. The National Register has no connection to the Landmarks Preservation Commission, although many of New York City's individual landmarks and historic districts are also listed on the National Register.

For more information on the National Register, contact the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation, Riverbank State Park, 679 Riverside Drive, New York, New York 10031, telephone (212) 694-3600.

How do I find out more about the effects of designation? Members of the public are encouraged to call the Landmarks Commission to discuss questions or concerns about the effects of designation. If a building owner needs more information, a meeting at the Commission's offices can be arranged.

The staff of the Commission is experienced in working with owners to help them meet their practical needs while preserving the architectural and historic character of the city's landmarks.
