The national historic district is overlaid by another district, designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1973.[3] The city district was expanded in 2012 to cover 2,575 buildings stretching over part or all of around 40 city blocks,[4] and again to the north in 2016.[5] The historic district is New York's largest landmarked neighborhood in terms of the number of buildings.[6]
