N.Y. Comp. Codes R. & Regs. Tit. 21 § 4800.5 - Requests for public access to records
(a) A written request may be required, but
oral requests may be accepted when records are readily available.
(b) A response shall be given regarding any
request, reasonably describing the record or records sought, within five
business days of receipt of the request.
(c) A request shall reasonably describe the
record or records sought. Whenever possible, a person requesting records should
supply information regarding dates, file designations or other information that
may help to describe the records sought.
(d) If the records access officer does not
provide or deny access to the record sought within five business days of
receipt of a request, he or she shall furnish a written acknowledgment of
receipt of the request and a statement of the approximate date when the request
will be granted or denied. If access to records is neither granted nor denied
within 10 business days after the date of acknowledgment of receipt of the
request, the request may be construed as a denial of access that may be
appealed.
