Basically 100% of the UWS looks like that, and 80-90% is landmarked.
If you want any development on the UWS, you're gonna have to accept some older buildings on less distinguished blocks getting demolished. This is certainly a less distinguished block.
If not, the neighborhood will plummet in population (because existing housing is rapidly being combined into larger spaces) and the neighborhood will get deader by the year.
Lower Fifth Ave. is largely the same. It's almost entirely landmarked, except for a block here and there, and that's where the development is happening.
