§ 88.05 Permit Required.

(a) A sponsor of an event shall not rent space to, nor allow food to be prepared, stored, served or sold by, any temporary food service establishment that fails to obtain a current and valid temporary food service establishment permit for the event. All sponsors and distinct neighborhood, school, religious, fraternal or other affinity groups contracting with commercial vendors shall require all such vendors to obtain temporary food service establishment permits. (b) The sponsor shall submit to the Department, at least thirty (30) days prior to the first date of the event, a list of all individual food establishments and operators expected to participate in the event and, where feasible, an application for a permit from each operator of a temporary food service establishment at the event. (c) The operator of each temporary food service establishment at an event shall obtain a permit issued by the Commissioner; provided, however, that no additional permit shall be required if the operator holds a currently valid permit to operate a food service establishment. Such existing permit, or a copy of such permit issued pursuant to 24 RCNY Health Code Articles 5 and 81 shall be maintained at the temporary food service establishment and made available upon request of a Department inspector or a New York Police Department officer. (d) The Commissioner may issue an annual permit to an operator of a temporary food service establishment who participates in multiple events during the year at the invitation of the sponsors of such events. (e) All operators of temporary food service establishments shall maintain permits at the establishment during all hours of operation and shall make such permits available for inspection.
