  • holding that decision was not final “until plaintiff has sought and the Commission has granted or denied a certificate of appropriateness or other approval . . . .” (citation omitted)
  • finding that as-applied claims under the First Amendment of the New York State and Federal Constitutions unripe based on plaintiffs failure to obtain a final decision, where the plaintiff had yet to seek administrative approval of its “rebuilding program”
  • rejecting, on ripeness grounds, church's constitutional challenge to landmark designation, substantially because church had not yet applied for renovation permit
  • “[T]he controversy cannot be ripe if the claimed harm may be prevented or significantly ameliorated by further administrative action or by steps available to the complaining party.”
