Dear Lance B,

Please see below regarding your Open Public Records Act (OPRA) request
regarding “A list of properties in the Borough that currently have
delinquent taxes, open property liens, and code violations (including
vacant properties). This list should also include amounts of balances owed
and the type of violation related to each particular property.”

1.Tax Account Delinquent Report

Documents (35 Pages) attached

2.Detailed Lien Status Report

Documents (3 Pages) attached

3.Residential code enforcement violations currently active and pending
that include:

The Borough of Fort Lee does not have a specific listing of properties
that have code violations.  We can certainly fulfill your request
providing that specific addresses are given

4. Residential Structures that are vacant and open to trespass •
Residential Properties with grass or weeds in excess of the city’s height
limit • Residential Structures without a current city certificate of
occupancy • Residential Properties on the cities vacant property registry
(if applicable)

The Borough of Fort Lee does not require the completion of a registration
form for vacant properties, therefore there are no documents responsive to
your request

If your request for access to a government record has been denied or
unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a
right to challenge the decision by the Borough of Fort Lee 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
web site 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,

Nadine
