I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(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 WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Good Afternoon,
I am in receipt of your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request seeking “information related to any community project done by Global Real Estate Development (GRED).”
At this time, your request cannot be fulfilled as submitted because it does not identify specific government records. Under OPRA, requests must seek identifiable records rather than general information or broad categories of documents.
Additionally, the request is overly broad, as it seeks “any” records related to unspecified “community projects” without limiting the request by record type, subject matter, or a defined timeframe.
Please revise and resubmit your request with greater specificity. For example, you may wish to:
Identify a specific project or property
Specify the type of records sought (e.g., permits, contracts, correspondence, meeting minutes)
Provide a clear date range
Once a revised request is received, I will be happy to process it in accordance with OPRA.
If you have any questions or need assistance narrowing your request, please feel free to contact me.
