By the end of this twenty-day period, we will (i) notify you that we have found no responsive documents, (ii) complete our review and produce responsive documents to you, OR (iii) provide an updated estimate of the time needed to review the collected documents for responsiveness and exemptions. The anticipated date of response is August 01, 2023.

From: Sam Mellins

Dear Records Access Officer:

This is an appeal of DHCR's determination on 7/3/23, regarding the above request. DHCR has constructively denied my request. The possible return date of 8/1/23 -- more than four months after the request was filed – is unreasonable, given the narrow scope of the request.

Because of this appeal, DHCR is required by law to provide specific reasons within 10 business days explaining why this request cannot be filled, or else, must provide the records sought.

According to the Committee on Open Government, if a government entity acknowledges that a request has been received, but has failed to grant access by the specific date given beyond twenty business days, or if the specific date given is unreasonable, a request may be considered to have been constructively denied (see §89[4][a]). In such a circumstance, the denial may be appealed in accordance with §89(4)(a), which states in relevant part that:

“...any person denied access to a record may within thirty days appeal in writing such denial to the head, chief executive or governing body of the entity, or the person therefore designated by such head, chief executive, or governing body, who shall within ten business days of the receipt of such appeal fully explain in writing to the person requesting the record the reasons for further denial, or provide access to the record sought.”

I, on behalf of New York Focus, am requesting either you fill this FOIL request, or else provide a full explanation as to the reason for the denial, as required by law, of this public record.

Sincerely,
Sam Mellins
