We the undersigned are residents of East Fifth Street and request that film permits and film related activity and film related vehicles be permanently banned from East Fifth Street between 2nd Avenue and Cooper Square.


We ask this due to the high volume of films that make our block their home throughout the year;

-Creating difficulties for the two buildings housing people with disabilities

-Creating unhealthy fumes for residents due to idling trucks and generators

-Creating a noisy atmosphere and interrupting sleep of residents

-Creating loss of uncompensated parking for residents

-Causing damage to trees on the block


It is for these reasons that we urge a permanent ban on Film Permits on East Fifth Street between 2nd Avenue and Cooper Square.


RESIDENTS OF EAST FIFTH STREET ONLY. PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR ADDRESS WITH YOUR SIGNATURE! THANKS!

The last time there was a shoot--just a few weeks ago--a generator powering one of the trucks was operating continuously, through the day and into the night, spewing toxic fumes into my building's lobby, the ground floor apartments and into the air we all breathe. No more film shoot permits, please!

Those mammoth sized film trailers have been destroying the branches of our lovely block's trees for years. Our sidewalks are far too narrow to accomodate all the cables and snack tables and equipment that film crews bring. Enough already!
