Appraiser with Inquiry Regarding Legal Rents at 427 75th Street, North Bergen, NJ
Dear North Bergen 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:
Hello, I am an appraiser working on an appraisal of 427 75th Street, a 7 unit apartment building in North Bergen. I am hopeful that you will be able to send over the legal rents for the apartments, as the rent roll provided to me for the appraisal seems to include rents at levels that do not seem to reflect typical rent controlled rents. In order to properly complete the appraisal, it will be imperative to see what the recorded allowable legal rents are for the building. If you can please email me this document, that would be greatly appreciated!
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,
Adam Wolk

Dear Erin Barillas,
Hi. Thank you for sending over the legal rent roll at 427 75th Street. I have one follow up question.
The provided rent roll does not include Apartment #2. Is there a reason that it was not included? Can you provide any information regarding the legal rent for Apartment #2?
Yours sincerely,
Adam Wolk
