NYC declares north Brooklyn Heights a film ‘hot zone’
Moratorium will give residents a film break
For years, residents and businesses have begged officials to do something about non-stop film production in Brooklyn Heights.
On Tuesday, the Brooklyn Heights Association (BHA) sent out word that the New York City Office of Film, Theater and Broadcasting has designated the North Heights as a film “Hot Zone,” with a partial moratorium on film and TV production.
“We are pleased to report, albeit with cautious optimism, that the NYC Film Office has granted the BHA’s request for a break from the excessive film shoots that had a lot of Brooklyn Heights residents complaining during the past several months,” BHA said in a statement on Tuesday.
