Dear Ms. Vitale: 
I have received the petition of Josh Castellano appealing the nonresponse of the Town of
Winthrop (Town) to a request for public records. G. L. c. 66, § 10A; see also 950 C.M.R.
32.08(1). Specifically, Mr. Castellano requested “copies of building permits, inspection sign-
offs, certificates of occupancies, and as-built plans for a specific address.” 
Subsequently, I learned that the Town intends to provide Mr. Castellano a response to his
request. The Town is ordered to provide said response in accordance with the Public Records
Law and its Access Regulations. Mr. Castellano may appeal the substantive nature of the Town
response within ninety days of receipt of the response. See 950 C.M.R. 32.08(1). 
Sincerely, 
Rebecca S. Murray 
Supervisor of Records
