Mobile Food Vending Unit Permit (Seasonal or Two-Year)

Beginning one week after the applicant submits the application and is issued a receipt, he / she should call 311 and ask for the Bureau of Food Safety & Community Sanitation to schedule an appointment to have the mobile food vending unit inspected. The New York City Administrative Code requires that all mobile food vending units pass an inspection within six (6) months of the date an application is submitted or the application becomes void. There is no waiver of this time requirement, even if the applicant assigns someone else to have the mobile food vending unit inspected on his or her behalf.
