Bushwick’s Community Board 4 weighs a new men’s shelter, a Melrose Street rezoning and the MTA’s bus overhaul this spring

New York City’s Landmarks Preservation Commission voted April 7 to designate three buildings in Brooklyn and Manhattan tied to the city’s immigration history as individual landmarks, the commission’s press office announced, capping a designation process that began with a public hearing the agency had advised was scheduled in March. The commission, which titled its announcement “LPC designates three buildings in Manhattan and Brooklyn linked to New York City’s rich immigration history,” framed the action as part of its work preserving sites connected to the city’s immigrant past; the commission did not release the specific addresses in the advisory text provided to reporters, though independent coverage later identified the three sites as the Public School 15 Annex at 372 Schermerhorn Street, the Church of Saint Mary at 440 Grand Street, and the Lithuanian Alliance Building at 307 West 30th Street.
