Mayor Eric Adams issued new rules Friday for the permitting of aerial drones in the city as the unmanned flying devices have become increasingly common across the five boroughs.
The rules will apply to anyone seeking to pilot a drone in the Big Apple, from city agencies to commercial entities like film crews looking to get an aerial shot. The permitting process will be run by the New York City Police Department through a new website: www.nyc.gov/dronepermits.
