Are you having a corporate gathering for a special event?

KM Associates of New York is here to assist with NYC Temporary Place of Assembly Permits.

The criteria are:

• • 75 or more people in an indoor space
  • 200 or more people in a confined outdoor space

When the expected attendance exceeds the approved occupancy for an existing Public Assembly space.

Tips:

• File TPA requests with the DOB at least 30-45 days before the event date.
• Requests filed with DOB within 10-days of the event will incur additional penalties for each day after the 10-day cutoff timeframe.
• Requests filed with DOB within five days of the event may not be processed timely.
• To file for a TPA, submit a drawing that specifies the layout, fire protection details, exit signs, emergency lighting, ADA accessibility, fireguards, and other relevant information.

Note: All TPAs may be subject to inspection by both the DOB and FDNY at any time. Should the DOB and FDNY choose to visit the event site while the event is underway, a service charge for their inspection (s) may apply.

DOB inspection – No fee

Schedule of FDNY TPA Inspection Fees (fees are based on the number of occupants listed on the DOB’s approved TPA permit):

• Occupancy: 75 to 149 = $415.00
