Dear Kelly,

thanks so much! yes, you are right- We're just asking for copies of all the building permits attached to these locations since 1/1/2001.
Nothing in this request should require any legal work (per Mr. Nuzzo's response of Nov. 18, below). I apologize for any confusion!

Please let me know the number of pages this will involve, and we will send along the payment for those copies as soon as we hear back.

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving week, Kelly!

Best Wishes,
