Narrative:

Aircraft X entered the sector; the right controller solicited the estimate; requested altitude; and requested mach speed for our sectors exit fix. I took the information and coordinated it; joboc XA55 FL330 mach 0.80. After coordination was complete the aircraft encountered moderate turbulence at FL330. Then the pilot requested FL350; during the time I was offline passing the turbulence information to the next sector; and asking if they have any adverse ride reports. During this time the right controller climbed the aircraft to FL350. I did not catch this; and did not re-coordinate the revised altitude to the next sector. When the aircraft was terminated I failed to check the altitude of the data block. The aircraft then checked in with the next sector (non-radar) at FL350 not at the coordinated altitude of FL330. No loss of separation occurred.

Title: ZNY Controller reports of not catching an altitude change because they were off line coordinating. Aircraft climbed to higher altitude then what was coordinated.

Narrative: Aircraft X entered the sector; the R Controller solicited the estimate; requested altitude; and requested mach speed for our sectors exit fix. I took the information and coordinated it; JOBOC XA55 FL330 mach 0.80. After coordination was complete the aircraft encountered moderate turbulence at FL330. Then the pilot requested FL350; during the time I was offline passing the turbulence information to the next sector; and asking if they have any adverse ride reports. During this time the R Controller climbed the aircraft to FL350. I did not catch this; and did not re-coordinate the revised altitude to the next sector. When the aircraft was terminated I failed to check the altitude of the data block. The aircraft then checked in with the next sector (non-radar) at FL350 not at the coordinated altitude of FL330. No loss of separation occurred.
