This record request includes, but is not limited to, any records that relate to the any investigation by the Division of Human Rights ("Division") into storefront accessibility at the above properties. (For example, as part of the investigation referenced in a press release dated, June 27, 2017
located on the Division's website at the following address: https://dhr.ny.gov/storefront-accessibility .)
In addition, I kindly refer you to the definition of records found in §86 (4) of Public Officers Law, Article 6 (the "Freedom of Information Law"):
"Record" means any information kept, held, filed, produced or reproduced by, with or for an agency or the state legislature, in any physical form
whatsoever including, but not limited to, reports, statements, examinations, memoranda, opinions, folders, files, books, manuals, pamphlets,
forms, papers, designs, drawings, maps, photos, letters, microfilms, computer tapes or discs, rules, regulations or codes.
Also, I ask that you recall that under the Freedom of Information Law all records are presumed to be available pursuant to a request for records, unless a specific exemption applies. And to the extent an exemption applies, such exemption must be narrowly construed, and any records or parts thereof to which the exemption does not specifically apply, must be disclosed. As the New York State Committee on Open Government has explained "[s]tated differently, all records of an agency are available, except to the extent that records or portions thereof fall within one or more grounds for denial appearing in §87(2)(a) through (l) of the [Freedom of Information] Law".
To the extent that it would help you fulfill this record request, I am available to discuss the request and its scope with you.
Also, if there are fees due to fulfill my request, please inform me if the total charges will exceed $200 in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
Adam Hanski
