Thank you for your email to the Township Clerk.
For all OPRA (public records) requests, please email [Livingston Township request email]. The updated OPRA Request Form is available at https://www.livingstonnj.org/documentcen... .

Dear Kim Fio Rito, 
This comes in response to your OPRA Request for: 
 "Open Permits
Closed Permits
Open Zoning permits

Property Information
279 South Orange Avenue
Block 6503*
Lot 9*"
The Open Public Records Act deals with requests for readily identifiable
public records,  The Custodian of Records is not supposed to perform
research to determine which documents exist, rather to make available to a
requestor specific records that have been identified by the requestor.  
Your Requests are too broad and would require the Custodian of Records to
perform research to determine records that exist.  Please identify the
documents you are seeking including the permit numbers or application
numbers.  Do you need a list of Building Permits?  Copies of the "Issued
Building Permit Form?" or copies of the Building Permit Application
folder?   
If you just need lists of open and closed building permits, the Building
Department keeps track of building permits in three systems.  The
"Construction Permit Summary Report" from our current building permit
tracking software SDL shows the building permits listed only under the
current block and lot number.  It will also show any construction code
violations, zoning violations, or code enforcement violations    The "List
of Applications" is from our former software, Mitchell Humphreys
Construction Project Manager and shows the permits from 1997-June 2013. 
Any permits that were closed out after June 2013 will be closed in SDL and
will show up on this report as open.  The third report is the "Extract of
Permits" which is a listing of all building permits by street from
1946-1996. These 3 reports will show if a permit was issued for the
installation, removal or remediation of an oil tank.
As a courtesy, I am providing these 3 reports for 279 South Orange Ave to
you.    As these documents are being emailed to you there is no cost for
duplication pursuant to the Open Public Records Act.
The property owner can contact the building department at (973) 535-7953
or [1][email address] to get the status of and make arrangements
to close out any open permits.
If you are seeking other records, please clarify your request to identify
which specific documents you are seeking. 
In the future please be sure to request the proper name of the document(s)
 you are seeking when you submit an OPRA Request.  If you are looking for
lists of permits, it is suggested you use the names that are in bold and
in quotes in the paragraph above.   
Sincerely,
Renee Resky
