Hi,

We are experiencing issues where address is coming as null for few officers.  
Has there been any change in the structure of the response in the last few weeks for officers that don’t have an address ?  
As we didn’t face this issue before.

{  
“address”: null,  
“links”: {  
“self”: “/officers/\*\*\*\*\*\*\*/appointments”  
},  
“date\_of\_birth”: {  
“year”: 1990,  
“month”: 11  
},  
“address\_snippet”: “”,  
“appointment\_count”: 1

@MArkWilliams

Thanks

Not from CH but perhaps the address data is subject to a Section 1088 or Not Properly Delivered redaction? Both types usually show in the Filing History annotations.

I believe that @MArkWilliams retired quite a while ago.
