Dear Nancy Chu,
This comes in response to your request for public records made under OPRA
and the common law right of access.
"For the Property located at Block 2504, Lot 29, known as # Street Name:
10 Westmount Drive
1. All building, demolition, renovation, rehabilitation and/or
construction permits issued to the current owner or a prior owner for the
period from January 1, 2000 to present.
2. Results of all inspections relating to any and all of the building,
demolition, renovation, rehabilitation and/or construction permits issued
to the current owner or a prior owner for the period from January 1, 2000
to present.
3. All certificates of approval relating to any or all of the building,
demolition, renovation, rehabilitation and/or construction permits issued
to the current owner or a prior owner for the period from January 1, 2000
to present.
4. All notices of violation relating to the subject property for the
period from January 1, 2000 to present.
5. Last issued Certificate of Occupancy or Certificate of Continued
Occupancy or similar Certificate issued to the subject property.
6. Any application for a variance or zoning and resulting approval or
denial for the subject property from January 1, 2000 to present."
The Open Public Records Act deals with requests for readily identifiable
public records,  The Custodian of Records is not supposed to perform
research to determine which documents exist, rather to make available to a
requestor specific records that have been identified by the requestor.  
Your Requests are too broad and would require the Custodian of Records to
perform research to determine records that exist.  Please identify the
documents you are seeking including the permit numbers or application
numbers.  Do you need a list of Building Permits?  Copies of the "Issued
Building Permit Form?" or copies of the Building Permit Application
folder?   
If you just need lists of open and closed building permits, the Building
Department keeps track of building permits in three systems.  The
"Construction Permit Summary Report" from our current building permit
tracking software SDL shows the building permits listed only under the
current block and lot number.  It will also show any construction code
violations, zoning violations, or code enforcement violations    The "List
of Applications" is from our former software, Mitchell Humphreys
Construction Project Manager and shows the permits from 1997-June 2013. 
Any permits that were closed out after June 2013 will be closed in SDL and
will show up on this report as open.  The third report is the "Extract of
Permits" which is a listing of all building permits by street from
1946-1996. These 3 reports will show if a permit was issued for the
installation, removal or remediation of an oil tank.
As a courtesy, I am providing these 3 reports for 10 Westmount Dr. to
you.      Also attached are the Certificates of Approval on file.  As
these documents are being emailed to you there is no cost for duplication
pursuant to the Open Public Records Act.
Permit # 20060695 to replace AC, # 19900050 for an alteration and # 4836
for pllbg are still open.  The property owner can contact the building
department to make arrangements to close out these permits.
There are no Certificates of Occupancy or Certificates of Continued
Occupancy on file for this address.  Please note the Township of
Livingston does not require a CCO upon the sale of a home.
The Planning Department has advised that they do not have any records of
zoning or variance applications.
If you are seeking other records, please clarify your request to identify
which specific documents you are seeking including the permit or
application numbers associated with those records. 
In the future please be sure to request the proper name of the document(s)
 you are seeking when you submit an OPRA Request.  If you are looking for
lists of permits, it is suggested you use the names that are in bold and
in quotes in the paragraph above.   
Sincerely,
Renee Resky
