Obtaining permits is a crucial step when planning to shoot a music video in public spaces in New York City. The need for a permit depends on the specific location, the size of your crew, and the extent of equipment used. A permit might not be necessary; 

• For small, handheld shoots without disruption to the public, 
• If you are not claiming exclusive use of the City's property. 
• If you are not using any props, vehicles, stunts, or actors in police attire and 
• If you are not requesting parking privileges for production vehicles.

However, a permit from the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment is typically required for larger productions, especially those involving equipment setups, blocking sidewalks, or requiring traffic control.
