This is a private reference site, not a Chautauqua County government office. We cannot confirm whether someone is in custody, arrange release, post bond, schedule visits, or pull certified booking records. Use the official office or locator that controls the record you need.
Where to Start for Jail and Record Questions
For current local jail custody, start with the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office and the jail listing. The sheriff identified in the research is Sheriff James B. Quattrone. The Sheriff's Department main number is (716) 753-2131. The official jail listing is Chautauqua County Jail, E. Chautauqua Street, Box 128, Mayville, NY 14757, phone (716) 753-4935.
For written public-record requests, use the Chautauqua County FOIL request form at chautauquacountyny.gov/form/foil-request-form. If a FOIL request is denied, the appeal authority listed in the county research is the Chautauqua County Executive, 3 North Erie Street, Mayville, NY 14757. Appeals must be in writing and should follow the county's denial instructions.
If the issue belongs to the courts rather than the jail, the Chautauqua County Clerk handles court filing records and related clerk services. The research lists Chautauqua County Clerk Gregory Carlson's office at 1 N. Erie St., P.O. Box 170, Mayville, NY 14757, phone 716-753-4975, court filing phone 716-753-4873, Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Chautauqua County District Attorney's Office handles prosecution matters and is listed at 1 N. Erie St., Mayville, NY 14757, phone 716-753-4241, Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Use those offices only when the question fits their role, such as filed court documents or case-related prosecution information.
- For someone currently held in the county jail, use the jail inmate records page and then the sheriff's roster or phone fallback.
- For booking-photo questions, see jail roster mugshots before making a FOIL request.
- For charges and court events after an arrest, use court records after a jail arrest.
- For a facility-specific question, use the Chautauqua County Jail or Lakeview Shock facility pages linked in the footer.
- For a sentenced New York prisoner, use the New York State DOCCS incarcerated lookup rather than the county jail roster.
- For federal or immigration custody, check the BOP inmate locator, ICE Online Detainee Locator, or the U.S. Marshals channel when those systems fit the custody type.
