  1. Hi, do you know where we can raise the request to replace the open trash cans in front of tribeca Whole Foods to the closed version like near Washington market park?
    So much trash everyday to that open trash cans and it attract so much rats etc :( thanks!!

    • The trash cans on the streets are standard issue Department of Sanitation. The ones in WMP are Parks Department. I don’t think Sanitation uses any covered cans on the street. Neither keep rats away however!

    “An All Night Permit authorizes current on-premises licensees to remain open to sell alcoholic beverages between the closing hour prescribed by statue or by the county government and 8AM on New Year’s Eve. The application for this permit must be received by the Liquor Authority 45 days prior to the date of the event (November 16th). Under the law, all Night Permits can not be issued for a Sunday.

    “Notice of the Licensee’s intent to apply for the permit must be sent to the local police department, or if there is no local police department, to the County’s Sheriff Department and such notice must also be sent to the Local Community Board (if applicable). Proof that the notice was mailed to both must be included with application.

    “Only active on-premises retail licensees can apply for an All Night Permit.

    “NOTE: In deciding whether to issue the permit, the Authority will consider the licensee’s disciplinary history (including pending charges) and whether, given the nature of the event, the licensee has adequate facilities and security plans in place. The Authority’s Licensing Bureau will make a decision on each application within 10 business days of filing. If the Licensing Bureau denies the application, the licensee can request a review of the decision by a Member of the Authority. Such requests should be sent to the Office of Counsel at the Authority’s Albany office. A Member of the Authority will review the decision and make a final determination within 10 business days of receipt of the request.

    “All Night Permit Fee: $61 per licensed premises.”
