Opra Request
Dear Cedar Grove Township,
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-6(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 use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested:
Tax Delinquent
- A list of all property addresses that have an unpaid property tax bill for the last 6 months. Please also include in the list or separately a list of properties whose property tax bill was liened against the property.
Water Shut Off / Utility Liens
- A list of all property addresses that have had their water bill liened against the property, have failed to pay their water bill, or have had the water shut off at any point in the last 6 months.
Fire Damage List

Code Violation
- A list of property addresses that have received any code violations in the last 6 months

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Yours faithfully,
Nathan

Pardon me, I misspoke. Your file is not closed. As per the Building Department, there are no responsive documents on file. There is no vacant and abandoned property list on file. I am currently awaiting a response from the Fire Department which has additional time to comply with the request. Once I am in receipt of a response from them, I will forward part 3. Thank you for your attention in this matter.
