Good morning,
We have received your OPRA request seeking various documents. This request
is too broad. OPRA requests are for specific, identifiable documents as
per N.J.S.A 47:1A-1 et. seq. When submitting requests, you must detail
the type/title, subject matter, parties, resolution number, etc. of the
requested documents; and the relevant the date(s) or date range of said
documents.
Please clarify each document you are seeking.
Please see the attached Vacant and Abandoned Property List.
Thank You,
