The New York Times is reporting that the new $3200 fee levied on companies filming inside municipally owned buildings (which I noted here earlier) is drawing complaints as well as some grumbling that productions might take their business elsewhere.

The fee, which went into effect just before Christmas, applies to 54 buildings operated by the Department of Citywide Administrative Services, with TV series including Ugly Betty and Law and Order among those getting tapped for the usage charge. And no, it doesn’t matter if you happen to be a student or working a similar small, low-budget production–you still will pay.
