Dear Nathan Stallone, 
This comes in response to your OPRA Request for: 
"This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law
right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please
acknowledge receipt of this message.
  Records requested:

1.      A list of properties that, as of today, have delinquent property
taxes and open property liens. If the property owner currently has an
unpaid tax balance or has an open lien on the property, please add them to
the list. This list needs to include amounts of balances owed.

2.      A list of properties that have received any code violations since
the beginning of the year. Please provide the type of violation.

3.      A list of all properties that are currently vacant or abandoned.
If the property used to be vacant and no longer is, please do not include.

4.      A list of all residential properties that have gone into probate
since the beginning of the year."
The Tax Department has advised that there is currently no list of
delinquent payments.  If they are delinquent in paying then they are on
tax sale
