Holding local government accountable through public records, FOIL requests, and citizen oversight.
Access public records, track FOIL requests, and understand how we're funded.
New York's Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) gives every person the right to request records from state and local government agencies. You do not need to be a New York resident, provide a reason, or identify yourself. Agencies must respond within 5 business days.
