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:
34 Brian Road

Dear Clerk,
Thank you for the prompt response. Before I close out the ticket, I want to ensure I am reading it accurately - the PDF does not expand on Complaints, Land Use, Engineering, Code Enforcement, and Fire Prevention sections. Is it safe to assume those fields are blank for this property?
Yours sincerely,
Bek Turaev
Hi Bek,
Sorry for the delayed response, I was out of the office until today.
Those fields that you mentioned are blank. In the Fire Prevention field it mentions a smoke certification.
Regards,
Joann
