  this  section,  the  applicant  must also make the statement required by
  paragraph (b) of subdivision two of section 690.35 and provide the  same
  allegations  of  fact  required  by  paragraph  (c) of such subdivision;

  directly to the court. Where appropriate, the applicant may also make  a
  request specified in subdivision three of section 690.35.
    3. Upon being advised that an oral application for a search warrant is

  person providing information in support of the application.   Such  oath
  or oaths and all of the remaining communication must be recorded, either
  by  means  of  a  voice  recording  device  or  verbatim stenographic or
  verbatim longhand notes.   If a voice recording  device  is  used  or  a
  stenographic  record  made,  the judge must have the record transcribed,
  certify to the accuracy of  the  transcription  and  file  the  original
  record  and transcription with the court within twenty-four hours of the
  issuance of a warrant. If longhand notes  are  taken,  the  judge  shall
  subscribe  a copy and file it with the court within twenty-four hours of
