Dear Mr. Desmond:
This firm serves as General Counsel to North Hudson Regional Fire & Rescue
(“NHRFR”).
On November 7, 2020, NHRFR received your request for documents pursuant to
the New Jersey Open Public Records Act (“OPRA”) and the common law.
You requested, as it pertains to the Township of Weehawken,
“1. All fire code citations for NJ Uniform Fire Code violations for
Section 307.1.1, Section 307.4.2, Section 302.1, Section 308.3.1 for the

In response to this request, please see attached records.
