Dear Adams, Ann,
We represent a prospective purchaser of the residential condominium unit mentioned in the OPRA Request and wanted to confirm what the City requires in connection with the transfer of ownership. Could you please clarify the following:
1. Certificates
Does the City require a Certificate of Occupancy (C/O), a Continuing Certificate of Occupancy (CCO), or a Zoning Certificate in connection with the resale of a condo unit?
2. Inspections
Are any inspections required as part of the transfer (e.g., building, zoning, housing, property maintenance)?
Does the Fire Department conduct a required inspection?
3. Fire/Safety Requirements
Does the City require a smoke detector / carbon monoxide detector / fire extinguisher certification or affidavit before resale?
4. Process
Which department handles the application?
What is the typical lead time for scheduling inspections and issuing certificates?
Are there application forms or fee schedules available online or by request?
Thank you very much for your assistance. If you are not the appropriate person to assist with this request, I would be grateful if you could kindly point me in the right direction or refer me to the appropriate department.
Best regards,
Brittany Cali
Brittany:
Thank you for your recent submission under the New Jersey Open Public
Records Act (OPRA).
After careful review, we must inform you that the items you’ve requested
do not fall within the scope of records accessible under OPRA. OPRA
provides access to existing government records that are maintained in the
ordinary course of business. It does not require public agencies to create
new documents, conduct research, answer questions, or compile information
in response to a request.
If you believe there are specific existing records that may be responsive
and publicly disclosable, we encourage you to revise your request
accordingly. We’re happy to assist in clarifying the parameters of OPRA to
help guide your inquiry.
Respectfully,
Ann Adams
