§ 46-06 Indemnification and Insurance Requirements.
RCNY § 46-06
(a)Prior to the commencement of prepping or rigging for film and/or photography shoots on properties or within facilities under the jurisdiction of DEP, a permittee must provide to BPAC a copy of insurance documentation and a copy of the Required Permit in order to obtain final DEP authorization for such production.
(b)By obtaining a Required Permit from MOFTB, a permittee who is authorized to conduct film shoot and/or photography shoot activities on properties or within facilities under the jurisdiction of DEP agrees to protect all persons and property from damage, loss or injury arising from any of the operations performed by or on behalf of such permittee, and to indemnify and hold harmless the City of New York, to the fullest extent permitted by law, from all claims, losses and expenses, including attorneys' fees, that may result therefrom.
(c)A permittee who has been authorized by DEP to conduct film shoot and/or photography shoot activities on properties or within facilities under the jurisdiction of DEP must maintain, during the entire course of its operations, a liability insurance policy with a limit of not less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence. Such policy must name the City of New York as an additional insured with coverage at least as broad as provided by Insurance Services Office (ISO) form CG 20 12 (07/98 ed.). The permittee must provide to DEP the original certificate of insurance signed in ink to which a copy of the required endorsement is attached.
(d)If it is determined, in light of the activity for which a Required Permit shall be sought, that such activity may increase the potential for injury to individuals and/or damage to property, and that the minimum limit of insurance should be higher than one million dollars ($1,000,000) per occurrence referenced in subdivision (c) of this section, it will be determined what higher minimum limit is to be required and the permittee will be advised of such higher limit. Factors to be considered will include, but not be limited to, the number of people involved, the location of the activity and the nature of the activity. The permittee must thereafter provide proof of such insurance in accordance with this section. (Added City Record 1/6/2017, eff. 2/5/2017)
