Two and a half years ago, the Landmarks Preservation Commission voted to create the Crown Heights North Historic District, which included 472 buildings on Dean Street between Bedford and Kingston. Yesterday, the Commission got the ball rolling on the next phase of landmarking in the neighborhood when it held a hearing about the 610 buildings bounded roughly by Nostrand Avenue to the west, Brooklyn Avenue to the east, Eastern Parkway to the south and Bergen Street to the north. (The exact boundaries are detailed in this agenda from yesterday’s meeting.) Of particular note, the Hebron School complex, which has been considered vulnerable to development, made the cut. From what we hear, 15 people spoke for the creation of Crown Heights North, Phase II, including Borough President Marty Markowitz and members of the Crown Heights North Association!
