Answer 1

Ans 24 : A) Landmarks Commission , it is the agency that supervise or oversee impact on the historical buildings , it looks after all the historic buildings and also encourages historic buidling prevention . It also controls all the modifications and promotes the use of landmarks .

Ans 25 : A) Grandfathering of spaces of what was built previously , it is the most irrelevant option amongst all the options that are given . Their is no used of grandfathering policy over here , there are no new rules which are being made or the old rules are being followed . Thats why A) is the most irrelevant option .

Ans 26 : B)  Bulkheads can extend through the sky exposure plane , this is the building feature which bulkheads do not provide rest all the features are being provided by the bulkheads . Standing on top or walking on top of bulkheads causes problems , they square feet also does not count towards FAR , they also contains mechanical equipment and water tanks with the fact that it can provide roof acces from the interior stairwells .
