I have to say this would be a very welcome development. I recently had to help a business through a number of landmarks processes and all I can say is it took a LOT of time. Thankfully this building did not require going through a public hearing, but I have to wonder how does it help the city? It certainly doesn't keep the costs of maintaining the property down, and as a result Landmark Districts are among the most expensive to live in in the city.
I suspect this "overhaul" is going to consist of very low hanging fruit (such as the window review process mentioned in this article). But anything is better than nothing...
