Residential building permits over the last 6 months
Dear Alexandria 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:
Residential building permits over the last 6 months
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,
Emily Anderson
Good afternoon Emily-
I'm in receipt of your OPRA request seeking "Residential building permits over the last 6 months". I unfortunately need to reject this OPRA as being "overly broad and vague". Please be more specific as to "What" residential building permits over the last 6 months you are looking for:
1.) Open or closed permits?
2.) A Specific type of building permit?
3.) A building permit can be a Building permit, electrical permit, plumbing permit, mechanical permit, fire permit- confirming you only want a building permit in which just the building technical section was filled out and submitted like for a fence or shed?
As you can see I need more information from you than "Residential building permits over the last 6 months".
Please resubmit your OPRA with additional information/specifications to your request so that we can fulfill your OPRA!
Thanks so much-you’re the best!

Dear Michele Bobrowski,
Thanks for getting back to me. To clarify, I’m specifically requesting open residential building permits issued within the last six months, limited to the building technical section (not electrical, plumbing, mechanical, or fire).
Please let me know if you need me to further narrow that down.
Yours sincerely,
Emily Anderson
Thank you Emily-
We will work on this
Michele
