Landmark East Harlem (LEH) is a coalition of organizations and individuals whose mission is to protect the special character of the neighborhood.

We do this by working to secure City landmark designation and State and National Register listing for individual properties and historic districts in East Harlem. We also advocate for contextual new development and adaptive reuse of older properties.
