The request was partially successful.

Lance B Sexton

Dear Bergenfield Borough,

Under the Open Public Records Act (OPRA), I am requesting access to records held by the Bergenfield Licensing and Inspections Department regarding all laundromats operating within the Borough of Bergenfield.

Specifically, I would like to request a list of all licensed laundromats in Bergenfield, including their addresses and contact information, as well as any records of inspections conducted on these premises over the last five years.

I would prefer to receive this information electronically if possible, and if there are any fees associated with fulfilling this request, please let me know.

If you require any additional information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. I can be reached at my email

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

(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.)

Sincerely,
Lance Sexton
