Any and All Documents pertaining to the transition of the condominium association to unit owner control
Dear Weehawken 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 seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
For the property known as Avora at Port Imperial Condominium, located at 800 Avenue at Port Imperial, Weehawken, New Jersey. Any and all documents pertaining to transition of the condominium association to unit owner control.
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,
Sebastian Vollkommer

Good afternoon,
This request seeks information and does not identify specific government
records. As such, your request is an invalid 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.
Since your request currently fails to identify with reasonable clarity the
specific government records sought, as is required by Bent v. Stafford
Police Department, 381 N.J.Super. 30, 37 (App. Div. 2005). At this time,
we request clarification of your OPRA request. Please respond in writing
as soon as possible and identify the specific government records sought so
that we may process your request. Failure to provide written
clarification of your request will result in the closure of this OPRA
request.
Please be guided accordingly.
