The Township of Livingston’s Municipal Clerk's Department has reopened to the public and will respond to your email as soon as possible. However, if submitting an OPRA request or inquiring about a previously submitted OPRA request, please realize that pursuant to P.L. 2020 Ch 10, OPRA deadlines are inapplicable during a State of Emergency and that record custodians ”must make a reasonable effort, as the circumstances permit to respond to a request for a government record within 7 business days or as soon as possible."

Dear Jack Smith, 
This comes in response to your OPRA request  and the common law right of
access for: 
" Records requested:

Under the Public Records Act, I am formally requesting to receive a list
of all Residential properties in your city that currently have active
third-party liens against the property (excluding first position bank
liens). " 
Please find attached the list of "Livingston Township Tax Properties with
Open OTS Liens " as of 5/21/21 in pdf and xlsx.formats.  The pdf file was
converted to an excel file to accommodate your request.  As these records
are being emailed to you there is no cost for duplication pursuant to the
Open Public Records Act.
The Tax Collector's office has advised that the software program we
use,  (Municipal Software, Inc.), provides the report I am providing to
you in this format and does not include the property address or owner's
address.  
You may wish to go
to  [1]http://tax1.co.monmouth.nj.us/cgi-bin/pr...
look up the block and lot numbers to determine the name and address of the
property owner and the location address of the property.  
Thank you for your patience in awaiting this reply, our office has been
short staffed during the pandemic and still catching up on requests
received before the emergency order was lifted. Pursuant to [2]P.L. 2020,
c. 10  which took effect on March 20, 2020, "during a period of a declared
State of Emergency, Public Health Emergency, or State of Local Disaster
Emergency the seven business days or soon as possible deadline to respond
to Open Public Records Act (OPRA) requests does not apply. The records
custodian must make reasonable effort, as the circumstance permit, to
respond to an OPRA request within the seven business days or soon as
possible deadline."        
Sincerely,
Renee Resky
