Thank you for your response!
However, I've found another OPRA request via OPRA Machine that showed the Second Reformed Church having a tax delinquency. (https://opramachine.com/request/30766/re...)
I do not understand how the Second Reformed Church can be tax-exempt and have had a tax delinquency at the same time. Can you please provide some clarification on this?
Also, now that it is shown that the church does have a payment to the city on file, can you provide any and all documents that show any and all payments the church has made to New Brunswick city (whether characterized as a tax delinquency or a payment on a balance) starting from May 1, 2002?
In addition to these documents, can you provide the reason behind these payments (for what did the Second Reformed Church pay the city?)?
You can search for the organization by its former (and more commonly used name), the Second Reformed Church, or by its new name the College Avenue Community Church? You can also search for "Second Reform Church."
Thank you again so much for your help! It is much appreciated!
Yours sincerely,
Astha Lakhankar

Subject: OPRA request - Rent control exemption at 14 Stone
Dear New Brunswick City,
This is a request for public records made under OPRA and the common law
right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form. Please
acknowledge receipt of this message.
I previously filed an OPRA request about the rent control status of a
property at 14 Stone Street and was told that the property is exempt.
Under what exemption outlined in section 5.80.050 of the municipal code does
14 Stone qualify for exemption from rent control? If the property is in fact
exempt under a rule that would have required the property owner to file
notice with the board (exemption E, for example), please send copies of that
correspondence.
Best,
Vy Nguyen
