PI Claims Filed - Jan 1 2007 to June 30 2017
From: Thomas Combs
I received a response to my FOIL request for the index of Notice of Claim for personal injury filed with the City of New York for the years 2007 to 2017. The response is incomplete and a further response must be provided.
The Index provided by the City consists of an excel spreadsheet with complete calendar years for the years 2007-2016, and from Jan-June, 2017. The entire calendar year should be provided for 2017.
Moreover, Index provided in response to my request contains 4 data colums: Claim Number, Date of Filing, Claimant's Last Name, and Claimant's First Name. However, I know from having personally reviewed the indexes that additional information is maintained by the city. In addition to the 4 fields above, there are additional fields indicating the location of the occurrence. This information was not provided in the spreadsheet I received, but should have been.
Please provide a complete response to the FOIL request.
Thank you,
Thomas Combs
