Deed transfer for BBL #1-1896-79

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New York State Freedom of Information Law (1977 N.Y. Laws ch. 933), I hereby request the following records:

I seek the deed regarding the transfer of the deed to the parcel designed by BBL #1-1896-79, located at 612 WEST 116 STREET.

The parcel is currently owned by the Trustees of Columbia University. I seek the deed regarding the transfer of ownership of this parcel from its previous owner to the Trustees of Columbia University. (And, if there was a third owner prior to that one, that previous deed as well.)

I have searched on ACRIS and no transfer is listed. Therefore I suspect that the transfer predates ACRIS, and took place in the early to mid 20th century.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Conor Skelding
