Dear Jenny Wadhwa, Based on the information provided in the above-referenced request, we cannot reasonably identify what records you are seeking because of a lack of specificity. Your request is extremely broad and does not include specific criteria or categories to allow this department to reasonably search and identify what records may be responsive. Please revise your request and be more specific. A search was conducted for report written for 2 nuisance related offenses, Engaging in or Failure to abate a nuisance. There are a little less than 500 reports written for that time frame. If you are looking for copies of each report, a cost estimate can be provided. You may want to inquire with the City's Department of Public Safety as they administer the nuisance ordinance. This request will be closed if a response is not received within 30 days of the date of this letter. Thank you, Erika Zaza

Hello,
Thank you for the response. I would like to shorten the timeframe of my request to just include January 1, 2024 through February 1, 2024. Please let me know if that is more manageable. If not, please send an invoice for the amount of time it would take to fulfill one month's worth of data.
Kindly,
Jenny
