New York City’s architectural heritage is a testament to its rich history and cultural diversity. Preserving this legacy requires a delicate balance of innovation and respect for tradition, a mission that Parapet Engineering proudly upholds through its collaboration with the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC). This partnership allows us to contribute to the conservation of historic structures while ensuring compliance with modern safety and building standards.
