Dear Omar,
Please see below along with attachments in response to your Open Public
Records Act (OPRA) request regarding the following:
1. Addresses of all residential properties (Property Class 2) that are
marked as vacant and/or abandoned
The Borough of Fort Lee does not require the completion of a registration
form for vacant properties, therefore there are no documents responsive to
your request
2. Addresses of all residential properties (Property Class 2) that are
marked as condemned
The Borough of Fort Lee does not maintain a listing for condemned
properties, therefore there are no documents responsive to your request
3. Addresses of all residential properties (Property Class 2) that have
had a notice of abatement issued, specifically from 1/1/2022 to the
present day
The Borough of Fort Lee does not maintain a listing of residential
