It\u2019s the only place where landmark designations are shown by date in chronological order, revealing when and how designations have taken place over time. Village Preservation first compiled the list in 2024 when we noticed what appeared to be a precipitous drop in new landmark designations under Mayor Adams, but no comprehensive information existed to allow temporal comparisons.

There have been no new landmark designations in NYC, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyc.gov\/site\/lpc\/designations\/proposed-landmarks.page\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">no sites currently under consideration<\/a> for landmark designation. In fact, no site has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nyc.gov\/site\/lpc\/designations\/designations.page\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">calendared<\/a> or formally placed under consideration for designation since 2025, and we are currently on track to have one of the barest years in NYC history for new landmark designations. Though it\u2019s still very early in his term, at the current rate Mayor Mamdani will best Eric Adams as the mayor with the lowest rate of new landmark designations, in spite of the countless historic sites throughout NYC calling out for landmark designation.
