Dear Gregory Laconte,
Thank you for sending over the files — I appreciate it. Before I move forward on my end, I just wanted to confirm whether there are any additional documents coming my way.
Yours sincerely,
Peter
Meant to send these yesterday, my apologies.
Attached is a report on Code Violations during the subject period.
We do not maintain a list of vacant/abandoned properties.
Water is a private utility, you can contact NJ American Water to see if
they will disclose water shutoff properties.
Still waiting on the Fire Departments. Also checking with the Fire
Official and Construction Official if there are any condemned properties.
Thanks,
Greg…
