2011 Street Closing Application Guidelines
"Street Activity Permits" are required for Street Fairs, Block Parties, Farmers’ Markets, Block Cleanups, and Sidewalk Closings. In planning your event, please be reminded of the following:
1) This year, you have the option of applying on-line using a major credit card or personal check, or in person at the Community Board Office. To apply on-line, go to www.nyc.gov/sapo and select “SAPO E-Apply”. As a new user, you must first create an account. Once you have completed that process, you may proceed to fill out an application for your street closing. A copy will be sent to me electronically for my approval. You should be aware that when using a major credit card, the fee will be $15.50. If you use a check, $15.50 will be debited from your account. If you choose to come into the Community Board Office with a credit card or check, we will fill out the application on-line for you. Please be reminded that the application fee is non-refundable.
2) Allow seventy (70) days for your permit to be processed. Remember, block closings for parties or other events can begin as early as 9:00 a.m. and must end no later than 9:00 p.m.. CB #16 will not process applications with a lead time of less than 60 days – they will be rejected by the Mayor’s Street Activity Permit Office.
3) At the request of the 73rd Precinct and for reasons of public safety, we ask that you not schedule events on the following dates:
o June 11th, 12th, and 26th
o July 1st thru 4th
o July 29th and 30th
o August 13th, 14th, 21st, and 28th
o September 3rd thru 6th
4) Street closings for block parties held during July, August and September will be limited to ten (10) per Saturday. Rain dates are no longer granted.
5) If the event occurs on streets abutting New York City Housing Authority buildings, you must obtain a letter from the Commanding Officer of PSA (Police Service Area) #2 in support of the event. When applying for these events on-line, a copy of PSA #2’s letter must be uploaded with the application. In Addition the street closing will be limited to the hours of 12:00 noon to 7:00 p.m..
6) If you are not the president of your Block Association bring a letter signed by the president consenting to the closing or in the absence of an organized association a letter/petition signed by a majority of the adult residents of the block with their corresponding addresses.
The Community Board Office will process permit applications Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m..
TIPS FOR A SUCCESSFUL EVENT
Do not close off streets by parking cars at the intersections. This practice is illegal and a threat to public safety. Speak to the Community Affairs Officers at the 73rd Precinct (718/495-5422) for advice on how best to close off the street safely.
Make sure that any school, house of worship, or other institution or business on your block is aware of the closing.
"NO PARKING" paper signs may be made available through the 73rd Precinct. When posting these signs, do not pin, staple, tack or nail them onto trees. This practice causes harm to the tree and is a summons-able offense. Tape or string is recommended.
Sound device permits for the use of electronic sound amplification devices (i.e., speakers, amplifiers, microphones, etc.) may be obtained at the 73rd Precinct. The Police Department charges a separate $45 fee for sound device permits.
Do not use hydrants unless they have spray caps on them. Access to hydrants and spray caps are available through the Fire Department.
Make arrangements for recycling appropriate materials and for policing the area for litter. Remember: Don't Litter but Do Recycle!
Thank you and have a safe and enjoyable season!

Learn about Community District # 16' s Community Emergency Response Team
NYC CERT teams are groups of neighborhood and community-based volunteers that undergo an intensive training program in disaster preparedness and basic response skills. After completing training, these teams act to support their local communities by assisting the various emergency agencies that prepare for and respond to disasters.
As a rule, emergency services personnel are the best equipped to respond to emergencies. However, following a catastrophic disaster, CERT teams can handle initial emergency recovery while they wait for professional First Responders.
For more information about Community District #16's CERT please call the Board's office at (718) 385-0323.
