*Defining threat: 

Demolition 
Destruction or dismantling of a historic building, site, or landscape. 

Neglect 
‘Demolition by neglect’ is a common and serious threat to historic buildings. An owner allows a site or building to slowly deteriorate to the point that it can be deemed a safety hazard, and therefore legally demolished. 

Inappropriate Development 
Can refer to either: 1) development not in keeping with the architectural or historic character of its surrounding neighborhood, or 2) development that impedes interpretation of a significant historic site or cultural landscape. 

Insensitive Public Policy 
Broadly defined as legislation that impedes the awareness and protection of a community’s historic resources.

In addition to APIAHiP's Endangered Sites Watch List, we provide letters of support for preservation-related projects. To request a letter of support, submit a 1-3 page issue summary to apiahipsites@gmail.com.
