Whenever any residential dwelling is used for a social event or party open to the general public or any segment thereof, where an admission fee is charged, or alcohol, food or beverages are sold, or a beer or liquor license is required by the New York State Liquor Authority, such use shall require a party permit to be applied for by the owner of the property conducting the party. The police shall be in charge of issuing the party permit.
[Adopted 2-4-1988 (Art. VI of Ch. 19 of the 1973 Code)]
The applicant shall provide the following to the Chief of Police when applying for a party permit:
Besides providing the information listed in § 220-2 and paying the requisite fee, the issuance of the party permit will also be based on the prior conduct of the applicant in running other parties open to the public and how the health, safety, welfare and morals of the neighborhood were affected during the party.
If a party permit is denied, the reasons must be stated. The reasons used for denial cannot be based on incidents which occurred greater than two years from the date of the application.
This party permit shall not apply to social halls, social clubs or social organizations whose building's current primary use is not residential in character.
