Introducing Portico: Simplifying Landmark Permit Processes for Homeowners

Portico is the Landmarks Preservation Commission’s new online permit portal. It is expected to simplify the permit application process for landmark designated properties, allowing homeowners and their teams to file, track, and amend permits. This tool is potentially useful for Mount Morris Park Historic District homeowners as it covers compliance with LPC regulations, ensuring that any work done preserves the historical integrity of their properties. Portico provides steps for obtaining necessary permits, such as Certificates of No Effect, Permits for Minor Work, and Certificates of Appropriateness, bringing clarity to maintaining the district’s architectural heritage. Additionally, homeowners can use Portico to check the status of applications and permits for other buildings in the area, promoting transparency and community awareness.
