5 Introduction
This report documents the process of requesting a transcript from the Civil Court Housing Division in Queens, New York.
6 Observations
- Court open 9am–5pm
- Paper form needs to be filled in situ
- Form fields: index number, parties’ names, date and hour of requested hearing
- Appeals have additional details to consider.
- Audio recording delivered by email, free. Staff estimated
4–6 weeks, but it actually arrived within a few days.
- Hearing (and thus the audio recording) lasts ~10 minutes.
- Transcript cost estimated around $0.50 per minute (approximate, uncertain), if requested.
7 Discussion
- Process simple:
- Could be automated online easily.
- It is possible such automation already exists but is not clearly communicated.
- Reported times (4–6 weeks) for receiving the recording were greatly
overestimated. The recording arrived within a few days.
- This suggests staff may not have consistent or up-to-date information on timelines.
8 Conclusion
- Transcript request submitted
- Staff approximated audio delivery in 4–6 weeks, it was actually few days.
- Final transcription cost still approximate at $0.5/page - whole transcript or nothing.
- Housing court timing and processes can be improved via more automation.
- Use of AI can provide a pseudo-transcript for free.
