The Mayor announced the Open Storefronts program to begin this Friday 10/30/20 and applications are now available. The program allows eligible businesses to conduct activity on sidewalks directly in front of your business. Find the application, diagram, and FAQ: https://www1.nyc.gov//h/pedestrians/openstorefronts.shtml How can I apply and what is the cost?... The application is online, free, and it takes around 5 minutes to apply. You must know your EIN, basic information about your business, and measure the length and width of the sidewalk in front of your business. If you have multiple businesses, you must apply for each address separately. Requirements: Your sidewalk must be at least 8 feet wide and your merchandise should be placed within 5 feet of the external wall of your building. (You can find the width of your sidewalk at sidewalkwidths.nyc but we don't think map is always accurate. If it doesn't look correct, remeasure your sidewalk's width yourself.) Which businesses can participate? Any ground floor storefront business predominantly involved in the sale of goods and/or services directly to the public. This includes businesses engaged in retail trade (i.e. clothing and equipment stores, retail food stores, health and personal care stores) as well as repair stores, personal care services, and dry-cleaning and laundry services. Which activities are/are not allowed in Open Storefronts? You can display and sell goods outside, use A-frame signs, place temporary seating, place collapsible umbrellas with weighted bases and tents (these must be brought inside at the end of each day), lighting (as long as it doesn't blind shoppers and it complies with FDNY codes), etc. Not allowed: amplified sound or outdoor heaters, personal care services (hair cuts, etc.) FAQ: https://www1.nyc.gov//h/pedestrians/openstorefronts.shtml When will this be in effect? The program will start on Fri. 10/30/20 and run through Thurs. 12/31/20. Once your application is approved and starting 10/20/20, you can operate outdoors during your normal business hours within the following hours: Mon. - Sat. 8am - 11pm Sun. 10am - 11pm What do I do after I apply? We encourage you to take a photo of your set-up or your popular sale items and send it to Sneha ([email protected]) at the BID. Call the SBS hotline (888-727-4692) or contact the BID directly with any questions.
