Biographical / Historical
Since 1977, the Historic Review Commission (HRC), under guidance of the Pittsburgh Department of City Planning, provides residents with information and rules regarding potential exterior renovations or demolitions to buildings that are in designated historic districts or are considered a historical landmark. Comprised of seven members appointed by the Mayor, HRC members must consist of “an architect, a preservationist, a realtor, a building inspector, and a planner.” Provisions for historic districts and the Historic Review Commission were first implemented via Ordinance 35 of 1977 and amended via Ordinance 20 of 1979. Today, the Commission’s meetings occur once a month and are open to the public.
