When a landmark poses a threat to the public safety, and demolition is <br />the only alternative, documentation by way of photographs, measured drawings, or other descriptive methods <br />should c make of both the exterior and interior of the landmark. The person or agency responsible for demolition of <br />the landmark shall be responsible for this documentation. <br />E.
