See G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). On April 10, 2025, Mr. Simov requested, “[t]he emails and phone numbers of all active Home Improvement Contractors and Construction Supervisors in MA.” Claiming to not yet have received responsive records, Mr. Simov petitioned this office and this appeal, SPR25/1191, was opened as a result. Subsequently, I learned that the Office provided Mr. Simov with a response on May 8, 2025. Where this appeal was opened as a result of the Office’s lack of a written response, I will now consider this administrative appeal closed. Mr. Simov may appeal the substantive nature of the Office’s response within ninety (90) days. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). Sincerely, Manza Arthur Supervisor of Records cc: Elmir Simov One Ashburton Place, Room 1719, Boston, Massachusetts 02108 • (617) 727-2832 • Fax: (617) 727-5914 sec.state.ma.us/pre • pre@sec.state.ma.us
