Dear Piscataway Township,
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:
All open and closed permits: 260 Grant Avenue, Piscataway, NJ 08854
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,
Carlo Flores
Good morning,
We are in receipt of your OPRA request asking for “all open and closed
permits” for 260 Grant Ave.
Your current request is overly broad and does not identify with reasonable
clarity the specific government records sought, as is required by Bent v.
Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J. Super. 30 (App. Div. 2005) and Burke
v. Brandes, 429 N.J. Super. 169 (App. Div. 2012). OPRA requests must seek
specifically identifiable records, not broad categories of documents or
information. At this time, we are requesting clarification of your OPRA
request so that we may properly respond.
For example, if you are looking for construction permits, you must
explicitly state “construction permits.” Writing “all open and closed
permits” is not sufficient, as there are many types of permits issued by
the Township.
Failure to provide written clarification of your request will result in
the closure of this OPRA request.
Thank you,
Jenn
