FAQ
I live in a historic home in the Douglaston Historic District and want to install a ductless mini-split system. Do I need an LPC permit, and where can the outdoor condenser unit be placed?
Yes, because your property is in a designated NYC historic district, you must obtain a permit from the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) before installing any exterior HVAC components. The outdoor condenser unit must be installed in a rear yard or on a flat roof where it is completely screened from public view, and any exterior refrigerant lines must be enclosed in a painted conduit.
