[Adopted 2-4-1988 (Art. VI of Ch. 19 of the 1973 Code)]
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.
The applicant shall provide the following to
the Chief of Police when applying for a party permit:
A.
The approximate number of guests to attend the party;
B.
The date and hours of the party;
C.
The type of party;
D.
Whether food, beverages and/or alcohol will be served
and/or sold;
E.
The charge for attending;
F.
A copy of a beer or liquor license, if applicable;
and
G.
A fee of $25 for the 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.
