Dear Kearny OPRA Center, Paola DaConeicao,
Good morning, Yes what ever you have on File that you can provide will be fine.
the address is 425-431 KEARNY AVENUE. and the I have Block 66 Lot 5 as the new one. But back in 1965 the town used block 6 and lot 45-46-47. which can lead to confusion on finding anything for this property. I'm guessing this is an original building built when the town might have been established.
Anything you can find and provide is fine, I thank you very much for your time and effort in this matter as i know this building is complex as its very old. I don't want to take up much of your time. There is no time frame. Please take your time. Anything you can find and provide is fine. Thank you.
Kind Regards,
Yours sincerely,
Lois Menegaz
