Properties Owned
Dear Long Branch City,
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-6(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:
- All properties owned by the City of Long Branch. Please include the address, block and lot, purchase date, purchase price.
- Any property or space rented or leased by the City of Long Branch. Please include the current lease amount, lease end date.
I also prefer for the document to be sent here in OPRA not in my email (sometimes it does not appear in my inbox).
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,
Concerned Citizen

9. Do requestors have to use the official Open Public Records Act (OPRA) form?
Yes and no. In the case of Renna v. County of Union, 407 NJ.Super. 230,, (App. Div. 2009), the Court said: "We hold that all requests for OPRA records must be in writing; that such requests shall utilize the forms provided by the custodian of the records; however, no custodian shall withhold such records if the written request for such records, not presented on the official form, contains the requisite information prescribed in NJ.S.A. 47:1A-5(f)."
The Court stated that requests should be made on the form provided by the custodian of records, but that, so long as all the required information is present, failure to use the form cannot result in a refusal to withhold the records.
The Court went on to say: "In the event the submitted writing, exclusive of the form, is insufficient for the custodian to fulfill its statutory responsibility, such as the record may not be subject to OPRA or the request does not contain sufficient information, the custodian may require the requester to complete the official form."
Yours sincerely,

Record request #25-263 has been closed. The
closure reason supplied was:
Hello,
Request is invalid as it seeks the City to create
a government record, which it is under no
obligation to do under OPRA. Moreover, tax
assessor cannot create a report without block and
lot numbers. Request would require the City to
conduct research to create a government record.
Information pertaining to your OPRA request has
been added to our OPRA Portal for your review.
