After taking two months to address my request, please do not close it if I do not find the time to narrow it in the next (less than?!) two weeks.

Lemme see if I can find time in the coming week.

From: ALEXANDER RICCIO

First, can we try narrowing the search to only items smaller than a mebibyte or so?

This has been helpful in my past FOIL requests.

DOHMH was able to use the following operator to narrow it:

size:1..1048567

From: Department of Buildings

Good morning Alexander, the due date regarding this FOIL is 3/21/24, if more time is required for this extensive request, we will send any further updates and notifications via Open Records.

Have a great day!
