Dear Armando Aguilon:

 

The Jefferson Township Clerk’s Office received your request (the
“Request”) under the New Jersey Open Public Records Act, N.J.S.A. 47:1A-1
et seq. (“OPRA”). In your request, you sought access to the following:

 

Active Code Violation List Request for 06/01/2025 to 09/01/2025. 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).

 

Response:           There are no documents responsive to your request.

 

 

 

Please submit all OPRA (public records) requests through the on-line
portal:

[1]https://jefferson.seamlessdocs.com/f/OPRA

 

Using the on-line portal is important as:

-it displays confirmation that the request has been submitted

-it sends an email confirmation that the request has been submitted

-it assigns a tracking number to the request

-it sends the request to the appropriate group email account

-it allows the requestor to email (to themselves) a copy of the document

 

I appreciate your anticipated cooperation in using the on-line portal, as
your email may be marked as spam and delay the Clerk’s Office receipt of
the request.

 

If you have questions about how to use the portal please contact the
Clerk’s Office.

 

If your request for access to a government record has been denied or
unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a
right to challenge the decision by the Township of Jefferson to deny
access. At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the
Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government
Records Council (GRC) by completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. 
You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at
P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at [2][email address], or
at their web site at [3]www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other
questions about the law.  All questions regarding complaints filed in
Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.

 

If you have any questions, please contact me either via email at
[4][email address] or by telephone at 973-208-6132.

 

Best Regards,

Amanda L. Nevins, RMC, CMR

Subject: OPRA request - Request for Open Code Violations – 06/01/2025 to
09/01/2025 – Property Maintenance, Structural, Grass, Weeds, Lead Hazards
(Excel Format)

 

Dear Jefferson Township,

 

 

 

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 06/01/2025 to 09/01/2025. 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
