Code Violation List Request
Dear Branchburg 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 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 10/28/2024 to 11/28/2024. 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,
Evelyn
Dear Branchburg Township,
Hi, I hope you’re doing well. I'm following up on my recent request submitted to your office, as I noticed there seems to be a delay. I understand things can get busy, but I would appreciate any updates on its status.
If you’ve already sent the information via email, I may have missed it. Could you please resend it directly here in OPRA? Thank you!
Yours faithfully,
Evelyn

Dear Maggie Schmitt,
Thank you! Is it possible for you to send the file directly here in OPRA, I experienced the same thing with other township requests.
Thank you so much!
Yours sincerely,
Evelyn
