Good Morning,
I am in receipt of your OPRA request dated May 21, 2025 in which you
request certain records "for all submissions made within the last 60 days,
limited to commercial properties or spaces, in a spreadsheet or CSV
format."  I have been informed by the construction department that they do
not have the ability to search commercial properties separately from
residential properties when running reports.  In order to provide records
for only commercial properties, the address of the property would need to
be given.  
The construction department is not able to provide the records as
requested.
