Community Boards review all applications for liquor licenses, newsstands, sidewalk café applications, landmarks applications, street activity permit applications, applications to the Board of Standards and Appeals, and street co-namings.
Most applications are first considered by the Licensing & Permits Committee before being considered by the full board. Landmarks applications are submitted first to the Landmarks Committee and then to the full board. Street Activity Permits are submitted first to the Transportation & Street Activity Permits Committee.
