I will be out of the office till March 24, 2025.  During my absence you
may reach out to Lisa Hagan at [email address] or 609-822-2605 x

The City of Margate City Records Custodian received your Open Public
Records Act (OPRA) emailed on March 3, 2025.   This response to your
request is being provided to you on the seventh business day of the
custodian’s receipt of said request.  A copy of your OPRA is below.

Your OPRA seeks code violation list for 01/31/2025 to 03/03/2025.  There
were no code violations during this time frame.

If your request for access to a government record has been denied or
unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a
right to challenge the decision by the Margate City Records Custodian to
deny access. At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the
Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government
Records Council (GRC) by completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. 
You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at
P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at [1][email address], or
at their web site at [2]www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other
questions about the law.  All questions regarding complaints filed in
Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.

Thank you,

Subject: OPRA request - Code Violation List Request

Dear Margate 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 use the requested government records for a commercial purpose (Real
Estate).

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

Records requested:

Code Violation List Request for 01/31/2025 to 03/03/2025. I kindly request
a list of all UNRESOLVED or OPEN code violations (please do not include
closed violations) for all properties in the city during this time period,
specifically related to property maintenance, structural issues, and
weeds. Please include descriptions of the violations, property addresses,
and violation dates. I also prefer for the document to be sent here in
OPRA not in my email (sometimes it does not appear in my inbox). Thank you
so much!

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,

Isabella
