Entirely corrupt yes, but do FOIAs apply to city governments? I'm pretty sure if the federal government could simply reject all FOIAs because it costs money, they would.
Yes, FOIA's can be used at basically every level of Government, including state and city.
This is a first though outside of Pfizer, nobody else has tried claiming that the information "isn't worth the effort" of the city to produce.

Here's a good resource to show just how little they want you using FOIA's. They try to make it seem incredibly complicated and borderline illegal so you won't do it.
