How can I sue the City of New York?
I am having problems with New York City’s vital records department. The death certificate that was issued recently after my mother’s passing contains numerous errors. They simply want to cross out the mistakes with a pen and hand write the corrections. When I ordered a new copy of the certificate that copy had no corrections at all! They won’t answer my calls. I want to file suit in local court to prove my case and obtain a new certificate with the correct information typed in, hence, bring an end to this nightmare and allowing my mother to regain her dignity. Can anyone help in recommending what should I do or where I should go to resolve this? I have tried other channels including the Public Advocate’s office to no success yet.
What about contacting your city councilman to ask for help?
You may have tried that already. I was going to suggest the public advocate as well, but you seem to have done that already.
I wish you luck in this. It’s a pity the City is so cavalier about a person’s death certificate! You’d think they’d have more respect!
whats the mistake? her name? birthday?
