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: for Property 101 Lorraine Avenue Middlesex, NJ

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.

Dear Lily,
Currently, your request is overly broad. When a request does not name
specifically identifiable records or is overly broad, a custodian may deny
access pursuant to the following court decisions: MAG Entertainment, LLC
v. Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J.Super. 534 (App. Div.
2005). A proper request under OPRA must identify with reasonable clarity
those documents sought. A custodian is obligated to search and a find the
identifiable government records listed in the Complainant's OPRA request.
A custodian is not required to search her files to figure out which
records, if any, might be responsive to a broad and unclear OPRA request.
Please identify what type of violations you are requesting. For example:
Fire violations, Code Enforcement violations, zoning violations, etc.
The seven (7) business day deadline to respond to your request begins the
day after said clarification is received.
Thank you,
