Request for Open Code Violations – 05/28/2025 to 08/28/2025 – Property Maintenance, Structural, Grass, Weeds, Lead Hazards (Excel Format)
Dear Chatham Borough,
Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. 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:
Active Code Violation List Request for 05/28/2025 to 08/28/2025. I kindly request a list of all UNRESOLVED or OPEN code violations (please do not include closed violations) for all properties in the city during this time period, specifically related to property maintenance, structural issues, and weeds, tall grass, water shutoffs, Mold/Mildew. Please include descriptions of the violations, property addresses, and violation dates, homeowner's name. I also prefer for the document to be sent here in OPRA, not in my email (sometimes it does not appear in my inbox).
Please provide these requests in excel or google sheets format, documents must be in format requested per OPRA
Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.
Yours faithfully,
Armando Aguilon
Dear Chatham Borough,
I am following up again regarding my OPRA request and my prior message dated August 27, 2025 As noted, I was unable to open the attachment previously provided, and I requested that my request be forwarded to the appropriate personnel so the records could be sent in an accessible format.
To date, I have not received a usable response. Please resend the requested records promptly in Excel or Google Sheets format, as OPRA requires records to be provided in the medium requested when available.
Kindly confirm that my request is being processed and advise when I can expect the records. If additional time is required under OPRA, please provide the statutory written explanation.
