Washington, DC

Summary: Request for records related to a building permit. In response to the appeal, DCRA revised its position by re-sending a reformatted document that was previously illegible and removing redactions made to a document. DCRA’s decision was remanded further based on its affirmative duty to disclose records related to permitting and its improper application of the deliberative process and attorney-client privileges to certain documents.

Exemption/Issue: (a)(4), Mandatory Disclosure

Disposition: Remanded
