GML §96-a (State Preservation Enabling Authority)
N.Y. Gen. Mun. Law § 96-a
General Municipal Law § 96-a is a New York State enabling statute empowering any county, city, town, or village to provide by regulations special conditions and restrictions for the protection, enhancement, perpetuation, and use of places, districts, sites, buildings, structures, works of art, and other objects having a special character or special historical or aesthetic interest or value. It is a statewide statutory foundation for municipal historic-preservation programs; New York City's own Landmarks Law is codified separately in Administrative Code Title 25 (Land Use), Chapter 3 (Landmarks Preservation and Historic Districts), §§ 25-301 to 25-322.
