RE: Reply Requested : Electronic FOIL Request : U.S. Attorney's Office Request for Public Documents

NYCHA FOIL Unit foil@nycha.nyc.gov

Dear Ms. De Fresco :


I am in receipt of your letter, dated 23 March 2016, in response to my FOIL request dated 21 March 2016.
Can you please explain why you need a copy of my identification ? I checked the wording of FOIL online, and there is no such requirement
under state law.
LINK : https://www.dos.ny.gov/coog/foil2.html
Additionally, I expressly requested a duplicate electronic copy of records, so that there would not need to be a photocopying charge. Indeed,
the wording for FOIL states that the 25 cent copy is for photocopies. I am requesting electronic copies, which are already in your possession.
My request was for the public, non-exempt documents that NYCHA already produced to the U.S. Attorney's Office outside the scope of U.S.
District Court Judge Deborah Batts' order. Seeing as how you are not contesting that my request is for the non-exempt records, it can be said
that we have stipulated to records that are not encumbered by exemption under FOIL.
Kindly let me know that you can provide the duly-requested records in electronic format, or if I need to file a letter with U.S. District Court
Judge Batts or the U.S. Attorney's Office in order to compel the production of these non-exempt, public records.
Also note that in speaking with representatives with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, I was informed that NYCHA
files with H.U.D. certifications that accompany each annual report. I searched online, and I did not see any signed certifications that were
attached to the 2015 annual report. I also noticed that annual reports for some years are not available online. Without amending my FOIL
request, I look forward to receiving complete annual reports going back ten (10) years that include the signed certifications made by NYCHA to
H.U.D., or at least complete copies of all annual reports (including certifications) that were produced by NYCHA to the U.S. Attorney's Office or
to H.U.D. as part of this investigation.
Thank you kindly.
Best regards,
-- Louis

Ladies and Gentlemen :
I am a reporter, and I am making a request under the state's Freedom of Information Law, or FOIL.
1/. Regarding my FOIL request, I am seeking all public records, already provided electronically, that are *not*
encumbered by healthcare privacy, as reflected in the court order entered by U.S. District Court Judge Deborah Batts.
See the attached motion to compel filed last week ; attached to the letter motion is a description of records that have
already been produced to the U.S. Attorney's Office.
To clarify, I am seeking all the electronic records that are not subject to healthcare privacy of NYCHA tenants. The
records I am seeking have already been produced to the U.S. Attorney's Office, and I am asking that a duplicate
electronic copy of the non-exempt records be provided to me in response to this FOIL request. Given that these nonexempt records have already been produced, that means that these records have already been collected, and their
production in response to this FOIL request should be very easy to facilitate.
I am seeking an electronic copy of those records.
Please acknowledge receipt of this FOIL request before the end of business today.
Thank you kindly.
Best regards,
-- Louis
