The Historic District Council’s annual preservation conference returns this month with a look at rent stabilized housing and the challenges and opportunities posed with historic building stock. Via presentations and conversations, the conference will bring together advocates, policy makers, housing professionals, and professionals to highlight best practices and share their experiences.
Three moderated panels will explore the present realities, analyze what solutions are or are not working, and look at the future of rent stabilized housing. Topics include the role of the preservation movement in historic rent regulated housing, maintaining such buildings, and innovative restoration techniques. Among the panelists are Leila Borzog, Executive Director for Housing, NYC Mayor’s Office; architect Vishaan Chakrabarti; and New York State Senator for the 30th Senate District Cordell Cleare.
The Challenges and Opportunities for Historic Affordable Housing conference will take place on Saturday, March 29 beginning at 9 a.m. at the New York Law School at 185 West Broadway in Manhattan. Tickets are $35 for general admission, $25 for seniors and friends of HDC, and free for students. More information on the program and registration details can be found at the conference page online.
