Construction and certificate of occupancy

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Hopewell Township (Mercer) should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Hopewell Township (Mercer),

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-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 HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States. I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose. I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

In pursuant of information for 1165 Bear Tavern Rd, Titusville, NJ 08560, BLOCK 98, LOT 98

Please provide any records relating to the original construction of the dwelling, including the original and current certificate of occupancy, original building permits, approved building plans, and any records indicating whether the finished basement space identified on the property record card was part of the original construction.

Thank you,

Sean Bugel
