Yes. Commercial filmmaking (like what this guy was doing) requires a permit. The law is on the books so that movie, television and commercial makers don't disrupt neighborhood life by turning certain Manhattan neighborhoods into permanent movie sets.

Its New York City - the liberals who live here complain about EVERYTHING. My favorite are those who move to the city and then start complaining about traffic and construction noise.
