The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission consists of 11 commissioners.
 In 1989, when the LPC and its process was under review following a panel created by mayor Edward Koch in 1985, a decision was made to change the process by which buildings are declared to be landmarks due to some perceived issues with the manner by which the LPC operates as well as the realization that the destruction feared when the LPC was formed was no longer imminent
 The LPC's first public hearing occurred in September 1965, and the first twenty landmarks were designated the next month
