Division Director approval is required for every extension of an abatement deadline <br />beyond ninety days from the date of NOV issuance. We enclose those Division Director approvals herein, <br />and apologize for this oversight. <br />Should you have any questions, please contact me. <br />Sincerely, <br />Daniel I.
