Summary
The Landmark Commission is considering a request for a Certificate of Demolition to remove a shed at 4526 Leland Ave. The shed is considered a "noncontributing accessory structure" because it was built after the historic period of significance for the Good Samaritan Hospital Historic District (1920-1945). The structure, built after 1990, is in poor condition due to moisture damage and is recommended for demolition by both city staff and the Task Force. The demolition meets the standards outlined in City Code Section 51A-4.501(h)(4)(D) for noncontributing structures, as its removal will not adversely affect the historic character of the property or the district.
This item concerns the demolition of a shed that is not historically significant. Residents will not be directly impacted as the structure is not a contributing element to the historic district and its removal is deemed not to affect the historic character of the area.
