Permit for Minor Work (PMW)

Historic & Landmark Sidewalk Preservation
Permit for Minor Work (PMW) An LPC permit issued for minor maintenance, repair, or restoration work on landmark properties that do not require a Department of Buildings (DOB) permit.

This permit is typically used for smaller physical interventions on historic walkways, such as lifting and resetting existing bluestone flags, patching minor stone voids, or securing loose curb joints. Since a PMW is issued directly by LPC staff, it bypasses the public hearing process and significantly accelerates project timelines for property owners addressing safety violations. Contractors must carefully adhere to the specific restoration guidelines outlined in the PMW to prevent damaging historic materials.
