Its not a final barrier though in terms of building but the approval is often lengthy and time consuming. The Landmarks Commission and studies. But it could be done and has been done. Major scrutiny in seeking to build, say add an addition to a landmarked structure, but it can be done.
Developers will factor this in though.
Now if we see some interior modifications or conversions, and maybe some additions that work hand-in-hand with the original structure at parcel "X", for concept, than it could in theory add some nice affordable units.
They need to rezone more of Queens and the Bronx. Those two boroughs are the future.
On a side note, the one plus with the extra scrutiny with landmarked structures is that whatever rises or is converted or modified will most likely be nice and not a pile of festering rubbish.
