96 Chestnut St stop work order
Dear Rochelle Park Township,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please acknowledge receipt of this message.
Records requested:
Dear Annemarie Wells,
Since they ignored the stop work order at 96 Chestnut and completed the work before getting a permit, - how much were they fined?
Yours sincerely,
Sandra
Yours faithfully,
Sandra
Good Morning,
The OPRA request is not valid if it does not request a document or record.
See below
If your request seeks information or asks questions and does not identify
specific government records, same is not a valid OPRA request. 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. Div. 2005). Custodians are not required to
conduct research or create new records in response to an OPRA request.
