In the Matter of Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America v. City of New York

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the Landmarks Preservation Commission acted within its statutory authority in designating the Four Seasons restaurant interior as a landmark, including its furnishings, because the interior is customarily open to the public, the designation does not impermissibly restrict future use, and the Commission may include interior architectural features regardless of fixture status.
