Deadline Set for New Year’s Eve All Night Permits
On-premises licensees (bars, taverns, restaurants, etc.) seeking to remain open after the county closing hours on New Year’s Eve must file a permit application with the SLA at least 45 days prior to the event. This year the deadline for applying for an All-Night Permit for New Year’s Eve is Saturday, November 16, 2024.
Notice of your intent to apply for the permit must be sent to your local police department or, if there is no local police department, to the County Sheriff’s Department. Licensees located within New York City must also send notice to the Local Community Board. Proof that the notice was mailed to the community board and police department (as appropriate) must be included with the application.
Within 10 days of receiving the application, the SLA’s Licensing Bureau will review each application based on criteria including the licensee’s disciplinary history and whether adequate security plans are in place for the event. If the Licensing Bureau denies the application, the licensee may request review of the decision by a Member of the Authority. A Member of the Authority will review the decision and make a final determination within 10 business days of receipt of the request.
