New York, New York 10007

Email: crodman@pubadvocate.nyc.gov <crodman@publicadvocate.nyc.gov>

Please be advised, that the correct email address to submit any Appeals
for records of the Office of the Public Advocate, is
recordsaccessappeals@pubadvocate.nyc.gov . This is the first your
appeal has been sent to our attention, as I believe you have been sending
it to a non-operating email account of a former employee of the prior
Public Advocate Administration.

Can you please provide the basis of your appeal, clarify your request, or
do you wish our Office to review our files again for any records that meet
your request, under the appropriate sections of the NYS Public Officers Law?

thank you,

Larry Schimmel, Esq.
Records Access Appeals Officer
