OPRA Request - 324 Shore Drive B: 100, L: 27.01 Owner - Steven R. Abecker

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Highlands Borough should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Stephanie Kubis Benedetto, Esq.

Dear Highlands Borough,

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-5(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 NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:

• Code enforcement complaints (with dates)
• Notices of violation
• Fines
• Certificates of occupancy
• Permit applications and approvals
• Zoning determinations
• Planning/Zoning Board applications and resolutions
• Filed liens
• Surveys

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by email 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,

Stephanie Kubis Benedetto, Esq.
