Fifth Avenue Business Improvement District

The Fifth Avenue Business Improvement District represents Fifth Avenue, a world-renowned, iconic destination for luxury shopping, for over a quarter century. Its work keeps the Avenue clean, safe, and welcoming for all its businesses, residents, commuters, and visitors. A team of community safety officers patrol the Avenue, providing guidance and assistance to tourists, while its sanitation team makes rounds seven days a week to keep the Avenue clean. By providing advocacy services, Fifth Avenue BID has also been a leading force behind supporting legislation to regulate activity on the Avenue, reducing crime rates massively over the past 25 years. Fifth Avenue’s efforts can also be seen in the seasonal lighting during the winter months at the Pulitzer Fountain.

The Fifth Avenue BID is a 501(c)6 not-for-profit organization and is governed by a large, voluntary board of directors.
