Consistent with the State of New Jersey's most recent directive regarding
OPRA requests, please be advised that the satutory deadline (7 business
days) does not apply during this current State of Emergency. Consistent
with said directive, however, Bayonne's
custodian of government records shall make a reasonable effort, as the
circumstances permit, to respond to a request for access to a government
record within seven business days or as soon as possible thereafter.
Given our current reduced staffing levels during this State of Emergency,
we will endeavor to have your request answered as soon as possible, but we
project that certain requests will take up to 30 days to fulfill. Thank
you for your understanding and patience.
Hello Jack, regarding Code Enforcements violations are you referring to Building construction violations or violations such as uncontrolled weeds on property etc.

Christina LaGatta

Dear Christina,
Thanks for the fast response,
In my request, I am referring to code violations such as building with unsafe conditions, Illegal units, Illegal construction (when built without a permit), dilapidated, and uncontrolled weeds, etc.
And not referring to code violations during construction for a property when being built legally with a permit.
I'm sorry for not clarifying before.
Yours sincerely,
Jack Smith
OK, thank you Jack
