Dear Ms. Larney,

These were various permits for properties requested over the past year that were never sent. The data is from the 1970's and 1980's property record cards provided. I'm not sure how the permits are stored in the building department files (stored by property or stored by #/date). Since these permits were not included in my property records requests, I figured the permits were not stored by property, but by #/date order, so I thought they could be found that way.

In any event, I have re-checked the property record cards just now and these are the permit #s written on the property record cards, but these permits were never sent with the original property requests over the course of the past year:

4/22/74...7359 listed on 1970's PRC for Block 831, Lot 25
1974...7593 listed on 1970's PRC for Block 827, Lot 15.A
6/1/79...A-3156 listed on 1980's PRC for Block 827, Lot 15.A
3/17/80...A-4782 listed on 1980's PRC for Block 1393, Lot 1 (hard to read; might also be A-4982)
6/26/81...A-7922 listed on 1980's PRC for Block 828, Lot 27
2/10/82...A-9401listed on 1980's PRC for Block 830, Lot 15
6/6/82...B-266 listed on 1980's PRC for Block 821, Lot 1
9/20/82...B-1383 listed on 1980's PRC for Block 527, Lot 23
3/15/83...B-2513 listed on 1980's PRC for Block 831, Lot 37

5/3/84...681 listed on 1980's PRC for Block 528, Lot 11
10/1/84...2128 listed on 1980's PRC for Block 528, Lot 11

Please see the below response from Mr. Fagan in our Building Department. He also spoke with our Assistant Tax Assessor, Mr. Ryan and they do not now where those permit numbers came from that are on the property tax cards and still are unable to locate them (minus the 4 that were sent to you already).

"Good morning. I went into our system and used the Block and Lot that was provided for each of those requests and did not locate any permits with those numbers. I also rechecked the numbers that were provided in the original request and again there were no permits. Also, some of these requests are from prior to 1978. The Uniform Construction Code Act was adopted in 1975 and became effective on January 1, 1977, prior to this the requirements for permits was significantly different as was the record retention requirements. Even after extensive searching of our records, we may not be able to locate permits from an earlier date. There also was no computer workflow software utilized by the Building Department in the 1970s or 1980s for permits. If an application was submitted with an incorrect block number, lot number, or address it may be filed incorrectly. If you provide the address of the properties that you are looking for we can search the records in that way to see if any of these permits exist." - Matthew Fagan, Brick Township Building Dept.

Dear Ms. Larney,

Please pass this along to the building department:

A lot of these properties do seem to have address changes/multiple addresses listed on the 1970s PRCs and 1980's PRCs, so maybe that is the reason a lot of them can't be found.
