Dear Wildwood City,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:
I am reaching out to request access to public records regarding all short-term rental (sometimes called vacation rental) properties in Wildwood that are in an active, renewed, or pending status.
Specifically, I am seeking any records that can help me identify the addresses of properties used as short-term rentals, vacation rentals, or similar purposes. This may include but is not limited to:
Short-term rental / vacation rental permits or licenses
Zoning records pertaining to short-term rental / vacation rental designations
Business license applications or approvals for short-term rental / vacation rental operations
My only objective is to identify address information pertaining to short-term / vacation rental properties across the entire geographical landscape, so if permit / license data exists, then we won’t need the zoning / business license records (however, if permits / licenses do not exist then I would like the others).
As far as a date range goes, we would like the most recent records, spanning over the last 2-years. Also, if possible, I would appreciate receiving the information in excel format. If an alternative format is the only thing available, then please send that.
If certain records are exempt from disclosure under the applicable public records law, I request that you redact exempt portions and provide the rest. Please also inform me if the records are maintained by another department or office.

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Yours faithfully,
Victor Alan
