Ms. Hogan: You withdrew your previous request (FOIL-2022-226-00348) on 11/17/2022 and I closed the matter. Notice of same was sent to you via the City's OpenRecords system on that date. If you would like to submit a new request, please confirm.

As I explained to you before, I do not know whether or not there are responsive records; however, to the extent you are seeking records of open investigations, your request would be denied pursuant to FOIL 87(2)(e)(i) and (e)(ii). These provisions apply where records are compiled for law enforcement purposes and their disclosure would interfere with law enforcement investigations or deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or impartial adjudication. Given that the salary transparency provisions only took effect on November 1, 2022, complaints filed since then (if any) are likely still under investigation and subject to FOIL 87(2)(e)(i) and (e)(ii). You are of course free to submit a new request, but I do want you to be aware that the records you are seeking (if any exist) could turn out to be exempt.

Please let me know if you would like to submit a new request. If you would like to do so directly through the City's OpenRecords system, please use this link: https://a860-openrecords.nyc.gov/.
