[MassHistPres] Holding Preservation Restrictions

[Judy Markland]

>>repairs and According to MGL section 32, a preservation restriction 
>>endorsed by Mass Historical Commission is to be held by "any governmental 
>>body or by a charitable corporation or trust whose purposes include 
>>preservation of buildings or sites of historical significance or of a 
>>particular such building or site".  The restriction must be in the public 
>>interest and I believe that MHC requires NR listing or eligibility for 
>>listing.  Michael Steinitz is the one to check with.

As a practical matter, the non-profit needs to be expected to have 
longevity (these are permanent restrictions after all) and the manpower to 
take the charge seriously, including not just defining the scope of the 
restriction and how the inevitable maintenance, repairs and changes will be 
handled, but ongoing monitoring of the building - as well as the initial 
legal work, of course.
