Information Requested: 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 12/01/2024 to 01/02/2025. 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

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
