Every year, New York City and State agencies generate adjudications, audits, complaints, dispositions, penalty recommendations and oversight reports that rarely make the headlines. They are public records, but they are scattered across dozens of incompatible PDFs, portals and archives. The Rest of the Record indexes them in one place. Currently covers the Office of Administrative Trials and Hearings (OATH) — both its Trials and Hearings divisions — the Civilian Complaint Review Board (CCRB) complaints and penalties, the Conflicts of Interest Board (COIB), the Commission on Human Rights, the Department of Investigation (DOI), the Comptroller, the Public Advocate, Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) Chairperson reviews, Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) final decisions, the Public Employment Relations Board (PERB) labor decisions, the City Record Online daily journal of city government, Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) Class C violations, Department of Health official notices, the city's claims-and-settlements ledger, every City Council bill and local law and the City Planning rezoning tracker. We link out to every original document — see methodology for coverage caps, gaps and known limits.
Tip: wrap a phrase in "quotes" for exact-match.
