Boathouse Row by Edward Savaria, Jr

The Law Department is responsible for the negotiation, preparation and approval of all leases, licenses and contracts in which the City of Philadelphia is a party.

An agreement with the City is required for any filming in or on, or use of, City streets or City owned or occupied property. The agreement, which may permit the use of City streets, or property and/or grant the right to construct at a specific site, must be executed prior to shooting. The agreement will require insurance. The types and limits of insurance coverage will be determined on a project by project basis by the City’s Division of Risk Management. The agreement will also require that the production company indemnify, defend and hold the City harmless from any claims or liabilities which may arise during shooting.
