Re: City of Ithaca Property Maintenance Code Enforcement Info For All Buildings That Were Condemned and Razed By Controlled Demolitions With Asbestos in Place

Greetings:

I write pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law (Article 6, Public Officers Law) to request all records available from the City of Ithaca regarding buildings that were condemned and razed through controlled demolitions with asbestos in place during the last 30 years within City limits. I also would like to receive all City of Ithaca property maintenance code enforcement information for those buildings, including but not limited to property code inspection reports, code violation notices, correspondence, emails, phone logs, structural conditions assessments, asbestos, lead paint and PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) pre-demolition surveys, studies, annual programs reports, legal notices, complaints, stipulations, fines, settlements, criminal prosecutions, law enforcement actions and any other information related to my above-referenced request.

As I am sure you know, Section 89 (3) of the Freedom of Information law requires that you make the information I have requested available or furnish a written denial within five business days. If you do choose to deny access, I would like to know specifically what is being denied and the legal basis, under section 87(2), for such a denial.

If the information can be provided in digital format at a cost of less than $100.00, please fulfill my request without delay.

If the cost of providing the information will exceed $100.00, please contact me before fulfilling my request.

I would like to request a waiver of all copying fees since the information will be used solely to educate the public

Thank you for your attention. I await your earliest reply.

Yours truly,

Walter Hang
