Fieldston Landmark Designation
The City Council approved designating the Fieldston District of the Bronx, an enclave within the Riverdale neighborhood that contains 257 buildings, a historic landmark on April 26, 2006. The District was originally a privately owned estate, and its transformation into a suburban community was deliberately planned. The designation means approval will be required for making many cosmetic changes, and its critics have said this will reduce property values. Advocates of the designation argue that current regulations provide insufficient protection, and that the community will embrace the changes as necessary to preserve the character of the District.
