Dear Shanee Morris,
Thank you for your response.
I’d like to revise my original request: I am no longer requesting Certificates of Approval (CAs). Instead, I am only seeking all Certificates of Occupancy (COs) and Continued Certificates of Occupancy (CCOs) issued in the last 60 days. Commercial properties only if possible.
Thank you for your assistance.
Yours sincerely,
Salem
