I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-5(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 WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Jennifer Chapla,

Hi!
Thank you very much for your help. 
I'm specifically looking for Notices/Summons/Violations and/or property
inspection reports that were issued relative to alleged violations of
Borough Code Sections 340-9 and 340-7 for residential properties in East
Rutherford from 2025 to 2026.
In this connection, if that request is still too generalized, I'm
primarily looking for any alleged code violations relating to the
condition of the exterior paint/siding of residential properties in East
Rutherford. 
Thank you again very much for your time and assistance.
Jennifer Chapla
