The Borough of Rockaway received your recent Open Public Records Act
(OPRA) requesting access to the following:

1. A list of all residential single family, and multi family properties
with code violations on them for the last 3 months from today. Address,
and owner name provided please.
2. A list of all residential vacant land, single family and multi family
properties that are currently in the probate process.
3. A list of all residential  single family, and multi family properties
that are in the eviction process.
4. A list of all residential vacant land, single family, and multi family
properties that are going through the divorce process.
5. A list of all residential single family and multi family properties
that are delinquent on their utilities. Address, owner name, and balance

6. A list of all residential single family and multi family properties
that are flagged abandoned.
7. A list of all residential single family and multi family properties
that are fire damaged in the past month.
8. A list of all residential single family and multi family properties

Your request requires additional time beyond the seven (7) business days
to fulfill due to the large amount of records that must be reviewed and
the fact that some records/reports must be obtained from a third party
vendor.  OPRA allows custodians to seek extensions of time pursuant
to N.J.S.A. 47:1A-5.i.  Specifically, OPRA states that,
"the requestor shall be advised by the custodian when the record can be
made available.  If the record is not made available by that time, access
shall be deemed denied."

 

Your request requires an extension of time until January 27, 2022.

 

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 Rockaway 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 [1][email address], or
at their web site at [2]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.

Thanks,
Kimberly Cuspilich, RMC
