I know this is a skyscraper forum, but it seems like there are many on here who support historic preservation as well.
I just created a Change.org petition to urge the Historic Commission to expedite the process in creating the Washington Square West Historic District. The District was originally proposed 9 years ago by the Preservation Alliance and for whatever reason its been stalled ever since. The buildings you mentioned above are all located within the proposed district. My understanding is the Preservation Alliance needs more public support to get this moving forward. There's still a long way to go, but hopefully this is a start. If interested, please sign and share.
