Code Violation List Request
Dear Oceanport Borough,
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 12/23/2026 to 02/13/2026. 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,
Emma

The Borough of Oceanport has received your Records Request (OPRA)
dated February 17, 2026. The official Records Custodian received your

Access to Government Records Under the New Jersey Open Public Records
Act (N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1 et seq.)
1. The fees for duplication of a government record are specified
below. We will notify you of any special charges, special service
charges or other additional charges authorized by Borough ordinance
or regulation before processing your request. Payment shall be made
by check or money order payable to the Borough of Oceanport and
mailed to Borough Clerk - OPRA, PO Box 370, Oceanport, NJ 07757
$.05 per page for letter (8 ½ x 11) size pages and smaller
$.07 per page for legal (8 ½ x 14) and ledger (11x17) size pages and
larger
$.25 per additional page for color copies (sizes above)
Costs for reproduction that must be outsourced will be charged at the
cost incurred by the Borough. If the actual cost to produce a copy of
a record exceeds the above fees, then the cost will be calculated by
the formula set forth by the Government Records Council.
Postage costs will be charged for any mailed documents.
2. Pursuant to OPRA (C.47:1A-5c & C47:1A-5d), the Borough will apply
special service charge for any extraordinary expenditure of time and
effort to accommodate a request. The special service charge will be
based on the actual direct cost of providing the records. The
requester shall have the opportunity to review and object to the
charge prior to it being incurred however, in the event the requester
objects to the special service charge, the request will be closed and
access to the records will not be granted.
3. By law, the Borough must notify you that it grants or denies a
request for access to government records within seven business days
after the custodian of the record requested receives the request,
provided that the record is currently available and not in storage.
If the record requested is not currently available or is in storage,
the custodian will advise you within seven business days when the
record can be made available and the estimated cost. You may agree
with the custodian to extend the time for making records available,
or granting or denying your request.
4. You may be denied access to a government record if your request
would substantially disrupt agency operations and the custodian is
unable to reach a reasonable solution with you.
5. If the Custodian was unable to comply with your request for access
to a government record, the custodian will indicate the reasons for
denial in the response.
6. Except as otherwise provided by law or by agreement with the
requester, if the custodian of the record requested fails to respond
to you within seven business days of receiving a request form, the
failure to respond will be considered a denial of your request.
7. Resolution of Disputed Findings: In the event that a requester
does not agree with the Custodian's record response, the requester
should:
No Records - Reexamine the request details to evaluate if all of the
information was provided that could aid the Custodian in locating
records. The Borough's ability to identify records of interest is in
direct correlation to matching the Borough information with the
information provided on the request.
Denial - If your request for access to a government record has been
denied or unfilled within the time permitted by law, you have a right
to challenge the decision by the Custodian to deny access. The
Custodian denies access to records only when those records do not
meet the definition of a government record and/or public access is
not allowed pursuant to the law. At your option, you may either:
a. Contact the Borough Clerk to re-visit the matter or provide
further explanation.
b. Institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey
c. File a complaint in writing with the Government Records Council
(GRC). You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at
866-850-0511, by mail at PO Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at
[email address], or at their web site at www.state.nj.us/grc. The
Council can also respond to other questions about the law.
8. Information provided on this form may be subject to disclosure
under the Open Public Records Act.
