List of National Historic Landmarks in New York City

none

This article lists the 117 National Historic Landmarks in New York City. One of the New York City sites is also a national monument, and there are two more national monuments in New York City. One New York City site extends outside city limits. In New York state, there are 276 National Historic Landmarks (NHLs), the most of any state. For a discussion of state NHLs inside and outside of NYC, see List of NHLs in New York State. For consistency, the sites are named here as designated under the National Historic Landmark program.

The National Historic Landmark Program is administered by the National Park Service, a branch of the Department of the Interior. The National Park Service determines which properties meet NHL criteria and makes nomination recommendations after an owner notification process. The Secretary of the Interior reviews nominations and, based on a set of predetermined criteria, makes a decision on NHL designation or a determination of eligibility for designation. Both public and privately owned properties can be designated as NHLs. This designation provides indirect, partial protection of the historic integrity of the properties via tax incentives, grants, monitoring of threats, and other means. Owners may object to the nomination of the property as an NHL. When this is the case the Secretary of the Interior can only designate a site as eligible for designation.

New York City Designated Historic Sites

The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission was created following the preservation fight and subsequent demolition of Pennsylvania Station. New York City's right to limit owners' ability to convert landmarked buildings was upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1978. Many of the NYC NHLs are listed, either individually or as part of historic districts, in the List of New York City Designated Landmarks.
