Glen Cove Chapter 150 (Fireworks) prohibits the public display of fireworks within the city without a permit issued by the Mayor under Section 405.00 of New York Penal Law. Consumer fireworks (including 'sparkling devices' legal in some upstate counties) are not authorized under Nassau County's local law option.
Section 150-1 designates the Mayor as the permit authority for public fireworks displays. Applicants must comply with Section 405.00 of NY Penal Law - typically meaning licensed pyrotechnicians, FDNY/local-fire-marshal approvals, insurance and site plans. Nassau County has not opted in to the state law authorizing consumer 'sparkling devices,' so possession or use of any pyrotechnic device by a member of the public remains a violation. Possession of unauthorized fireworks is enforceable under both Glen Cove Chapter 150 and NY Penal Law Article 270.
Unauthorized fireworks possession or use is a Class A misdemeanor under NY Penal Law § 270.00 (up to $1,000 fine and/or 1 year), in addition to Glen Cove Chapter 150 penalties (up to $1,000 / 15 days per offense under § 1-15).
