Good afternoon:

I received your OPRA request on December 29, 2020 for "all municipal owned liens along with current amount due, or most recently reported amount due including the lot, block and property address.” As such, the seven business day deadline to respond to your request is January 8, 2021. This response is being provided to you on the third (3rd) day of the custodian’s receipt of the said request.

The following records are being provided in their entirety and are responsive to your request:

1. Detailed Lien Account Status Report (14 pages)

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.b, there is no cost associated with this request as the documents are being transmitted to you electronically.

If your request for access to a government record has been denied or unfulfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a right to challenge the decision by the Borough of Bergenfield to deny access. At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government Records Council (GRC) by completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ 08625, by e-mail at [email address], or at their website at www.state.nj.us/grc . The GRC can also answer other questions about the law. All questions regarding complaints filed in Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.

Sincerely,
Marie
