According to data from the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment, 32 film permits have been issued in Bushwick zip codes so far in 2021. Of these permits, which are needed for shooting footage under certain circumstances, 19 were listed as being for television, six for films and five for commercial uses.

Not all filming requires a permit, however. Handheld equipment or cameras on tripods, for instance, don’t warrant the $300 fee that comes when you add in boom mics or stunts. The conditions for when shooting permits are required can be found here.

Last year, a total of 65 shooting permits were issued in Bushwick. The number of permits was typically much higher before the pandemic, with 178 and 209 issued in 2019 and 2018, respectively.
