Dear  George Lopez  , 
This comes in response to your OPRA Request for: 
"I would like to know if there has ever been an oil tank removed from the
property on 20 Amherst Pl. Livingston NJ 07039. The clerk office requested
me to ask for the following:
1. construction permit summary report
2. List of Applications
3. Extract of permits
4. Survey of Property"
Please find attached the "Construction Permit Summary Report" from our
current building permit tracking software SDL which shows the permits
listed only under the current block and lot number.   The "List of
Applications" is from our former software, Mitchell Humphreys Construction
Project Manager and shows the permits from 1997-June 2013.  Any permits
that were closed out after June 2013 will be closed in SDL and will show
up on this report as open.  The third report is the "Extract of Permits"
which is a listing of all building permits by street from 1946-1996.  In
this case, the permits for 20 Amherst Pl. have been highlighted.  Also
attached is the survey for this property.  As these documents are being
emailed to you there is no cost for duplication under the Open Public
Records Act. 
Permit #20180811 for a beth renovation, #20031480 to replace a garage,
#20031480+A for electric for garage, and #19980708 for electric service
are still open.  The property owner can contact the building department at
(973) 535-7953 to make arrangements to close out these permits.
Permit #19990971 was issued for a tank fill.
Thank you for your patience in awaiting this reply. Pursuant to [1]P.L.
2020, c. 10  which took effect on March 20, 2020, "during a period of a
declared State of Emergency, Public Health Emergency, or State of Local
Disaster Emergency the seven business days or soon as possible deadline to
respond to Open Public Records Act (OPRA) requests does not apply. The
records custodian must make reasonable effort, as the circumstance permit,
to respond to an OPRA request within the seven business days or soon as
possible deadline."
