Dear Linden City,

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 AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:

1. A list of all lands for which a zoning adjustment has been proposed between August 24, 2023 and August 24, 2024. Please include filing date, and description of the proposed use. Please provide this list in an excel document separate from the forthcoming items.

2. A list of all new construction (ground up) permits issued since January 2023.

3. A list of all residential (property class 2) and commercial (property
classes 4A & 4C) properties that have code violations, water shut offs, have undergone fire damage and are deemed vacant or abandoned. This list should be since July 1st, 2024. Please provide filing date, type of violation (where applicable), and owner name. Please provide this list in an excel document separate from the forthcoming items.
