If you are planning on shooting on location on New York City city property (i.e. streets / sidewalks / curb spaces or if you are shooting on private property and will be running cable across same …or need to clear parking…) in New York City (which includes the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island), you will need a City of New York Mayor’s Office of Film Theatre & Broadcasting (MOFTB) film permit. You should probably hire a local location scout or location manager to complete this paperwork for you.

Recently, I was hired to location scout in Hoboken, NJ for an upcoming UK tv program and it was an opportunity for me to explore an interesting city I have lived within 20 minutes or so of for about 15 years but never really spent much time in, other than to pass thru on the NJ Transit train to get to the PATH train, (which runs under the Hudson River) to travel into New York City.

Here are links to the more-often used pages on the New York City Mayor’s Office of Film, Theatre, Broadcast and Television website. On these pages is lots of info (as well as live forms and instructions) that you need when dealing with MOFTB and New York City film and photo permits
