HOW DO I REQUEST A STREET TREE?
  The NYC Department of Parks & Recreation plants street trees, free-of-charge, on sidewalks in front of homes, apartment buildings, and business in all five boroughs. To receive a free street tree, please go to http://www.nyc.gov/parks or contact the Community Board 8 Office cb8m@aol.com or 212-758-4340. Please note that written permission of the property owner must be obtained in writing before requesting a tree.

   a)    Single Block Street Fair Guidelines: An application must be obtained from the Community Board office, completed and returned to the Board office 90 days before the scheduled event. If the event has been held in prior years the application can be processed by the District Manager and forwarded to the Street Activity Permit office, which will then issue the permit. If the event is being held for the first time the application must be reviewed by the Community Board 8 Street Fairs Committee.

  b)    Multi-Block Street Fair Guidelines: Applications for multi-block street fairs may only be submitted by not-for-profit, community organizations located in and providing services to the Community Board 8 area. All applications must be submitted to the Community Board 8 Office no later than October 31 of the year prior to the year in which the fair is being scheduled. An independent auditor's report must accompany the application. The application is then reviewed by the Community Board 8 Street Fairs Committee and submitted to the Office of the Mayor by December 31 of the year prior to the year in which the fair is being scheduled.
