The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) is reviewing a rebuttal from the West Park Presbyterian Church at 165 West 86th Street on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. The filing, submitted by counsel for the West Park Administrative Commission, responds to opposition raised by The Center at West Park and addresses claims concerning financial feasibility, transferable development rights, and the statutory hardship standards under the landmarks law. The Church has a binding contract to sell the landmarked property to Alchemy Properties contingent upon LPC approval of the hardship application. The property is located at the corner of West 86th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.
