Cerrone details large-event permit requirements
Cerrone says events over 500 attendees go through the citywide special events team and require a site map, production schedule, liability insurance, security bond, and site fee. They may also need FDNY, DOB, NYPD, or DOHMH permits.
To ensure that larger event permit requests can
handled can be handled consistently and fairly any event expected to have over 500 attendees is permitted through our citywide special events team given that these events are considerably more complex than a typical small event
potentially disrupting access to a park or even resulting in damage to the park permit applicants for large events need to provide additional information to the agency
a preliminary site map and production schedule, proof of commercial general liability insurance,
submission of a security bond to be held against damages incurred, and payment of a site fee on the concession fee schedule established by agency rules.
Additionally, depending on the proposed components of the events,
Applicants may need to secure ancillary permits from other city agencies, such as the fire department for use of a generator, department of buildings for installation of a large structure,
the police department for safety, or the department of health and mental hygiene for food distribution.
We collaborate often with our sister agencies.
And are in constant communication with them when it comes to moving permit applications forward.
