where it is alleged that corrections officers failed to file the inmate’s grievances or otherwise impeded or prevented his efforts.” O’Connor v. Featherston, No. 01 Civ. 3251, 2002 WL 818085, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. April 29, 2002). The question before this Court, therefore, is whether Indelicato made a “reasonable effort”, to exhaust his administrative remedies before fifing his claim. Indelicato claims that: (1) he made a reasonable effort by requesting the step-two grievance form three times; and (2) because his requests were' denied, he had no available administrative remedies. Inmates who have made significant efforts to obtain administrative relief have exhausted their administrative remedies, even when they have not pursued the proper procedure. See O’Connor, 2002 WL 818085, at *2-3 (<HOLDING>); Rodriguez v. Hahn, No. 99 Civ. 11663, 2000 WL
