What is the procedure for requesting motion picture / television film permits?
HPD only offers vacant properties for filming. All reasonable requests by companies and individuals with valid permits from the Mayor’s Office of Film, Television and Broadcasting are facilitated without any expense to the production. Prior to granting any scouting requests, HPD requests that the scout transmit a copy of their scouting/film permit as well as a letter describing the project with relevant dates and requesting a scouting appointment to Juan Rosario, HPD Film Liaison, 100 Gold Street, Office 6-T, New York, NY 10038. As long as there are no impediments for using the location, HPD will coordinate a scouting appointment and send a letter detailing the arrangements to the necessary parties. Under no circumstances is permission given without a copy of the applicable permit from the Mayor’s Office of Film, Television and Broadcasting.
