Request for Open Code Violations – 07/30/2025 to 08/11/2025 – Property Maintenance, Structural, Grass, Weeds, Lead Hazards
Dear Dunellen 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 use the requested government records for a commercial purpose. (Real Estate)
I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.
Records requested: Code Violation List Request for 07/30/2025 to 08/11/2025. 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, tall grass, lead hazard, and weeds. Please include descriptions of the violations, property addresses, and violation dates. I also prefer for the document to be sent here in OPRA not in my email (sometimes it does not appear in my inbox) and I am specifically requesting that the data be provided in Excel spreadsheet format (.xlsx). Thank you so much.
My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. 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,
Mariya

Lauren,
The documents were requested as a excel sheet, and the addresses are incomplete - several records are spelled incorrectly, not valid or illegible (including row 7, rows 12-15, and others).
Per OPRA, documents must be provided in requested medium and the data must be complete, not invalid.
Please review the original request again and provide this document in an excel sheet (.xlxs), include valid addresses as well as legible code violations (Im not sure what AO or OG is)
Regards,
Ali
I will be away on vacation August 18 through August 22 and will return on
August 25. If you have any questions, please call the office at (732)
968-3033 and ask for Briana.
