Dear Dawn Colicchio,

The Borough of Middlesex received your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request on May 22, 2024. The official Records Custodian, Linda Chismar, received your OPRA requests on May 22, 2024.

Your request sought access to the following:

1) Are there any open permits? Building, electrical, plumbing, construction.

This request seeks information or asks questions and does not identify specific government records. As such, your request is an invalid OPRA request and is denied. When a request is “complex” because it fails to specifically identify the documents sought, then that request is not “encompassed” by OPRA. See New Jersey Builders Association v. New Jersey Council on Affordable Housing, 390 N.J.Super. 166, 180 (App. Div. 2007). A Proper request under OPRA must identify with reasonable clarity those documents that are desired, and a party cannot satisfy this requirement by simply requesting all of an agency’s documents. See Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J.Super. 30, 37 (App. Divi. 2005). For possible answer(s) to your question, kindly contact the Construction Department at (732) 356-7400 ext. 247 or via email [email address].
