Re:

Freedom of Information Law Request for Records

Dear Records Access Officer: Under the provisions of the New York Freedom of Information Law, Article 6 of the Public Officers Law, we hereby request a copy of records pertaining to the resolution of a recent audit of the building located at 165 West 9th Street in Brooklyn. As per the letter we received from Borough Commissioner Gluckman dated May 21, 2013 (attached), Job No. 320581562 for the conversion of 165 West 9th Street from residential use to a not for profit with sleeping accommodations was originally approved on March 1, 2013. An audit was then performed and found several objections, including those pertaining to the Zoning Resolution, Administrative Code and Multiple Dwelling Law. It is our understanding that the audit was accepted on August 23, 2013. However, to date, no further information has been made available regarding the audit, including the resolution to the objections raised by DOB and penalties for any breaches of applicable legal requirements. As you know, the Freedom of Information Law requires that an agency respond to a request within five business days of receipt of a request. If for any reason any portion of my request is denied, please inform me of the reasons for the denial in writing and provide the name and address of the person or body to whom an appeal should be directed.

Should you have any questions, please contact Catherine Zinnel in Council Member Landers District Office at czinnel@council.nyc.gov or 718-499-1090.

Sincerely,

Brad Lander Velmanette Montgomery New York City Councilmember New York State Senator 39th District 25th District
