JFK's Terminal 3, the former Pan Am terminal, was recently declared one of the world's most endangered historic places. A vocal contingent of preservationists is hoping to save it from demolition.

Landlord Stahl Real Estate recently filed a hardship application with the Landmarks Preservation Commission. If the LPC grants it, the landlord would be able to demolish the two landmarked walkups it owns on East 64th and East 65th streets. Stahl argues it won't be able to achieve the city-required minimum profit of 6 percent even with a $17+ million renovation. The Friends of the Upper East Side, who hope to save the buildings, contend that Stahl should have no trouble making that kind of profit, and that Stahl's plans include some fuzzy math.

Residents of West 29th Street have petitioned the community board and the Landmarks Preservation Commission to consider landmarking the Bancroft Building, the 1896 structure that was once home to Alfred Stieglitz's Camera Club. The neighbors are also calling for potential landmarking for the row houses between 9 and 15 West 29th Street on the grounds that their facades encapsulate the neighborhood's architectural history.

The church buildings are facing demolition to make way for luxury rentals. Opponents of that demolition are pinning their hopes on an archaeological survey of the site to turn up potential historical significance.

The Chelsea buildings that make up Tin Pan Alley recently hit the market, once again sparking worries that a buyer could demolish the structures for new development. Landmarking the buildings is one of the few potential routes left for saving them.

The 1927 Graybar Building is just one of eight buildings in the area that could be considered for landmarking in light of the potential rezoning of Midtown East.

In an effort to prevent out-of-context development, the Sunset Park Landmarks Committee is advocating for the area to become a landmark district.

The latest development in the epically long controversy over the Hopper-Gibbons House (historic cred: Abigail and James Hopper-Gibbons ran along the street's rooftops in their escape along the Underground Railroad) is that owner Tony Mamounas is still trying to keep the penthouse he installed before the building was landmarked.
