New York Laws
Article 245 - Offenses Against Public Sensibilities
245.02 - Promoting the Exposure of a Person.

A person is guilty of promoting the exposure of a person when he
knowingly conducts, maintains, owns, manages, operates or furnishes any
public premise or place where a person in a public place appears in such
a manner that the private or intimate parts of his body are unclothed or
exposed. For purposes of this section, the private or intimate parts of
a female person shall include that portion of the breast which is below
the top of the areola. This section shall not apply to the breastfeeding
of infants or to any person entertaining or performing in a play,
exhibition, show or entertainment.

Promoting the exposure of a person is a violation.

Nothing in this section shall prevent the adoption by a city, town or
village of a local law prohibiting the exposure of a person
substantially as herein defined in a public place, at any time, whether
or not such person is entertaining or performing in a play, exhibition,
show or entertainment.
