Sale pre-inspection ordinance request
Dear Willingboro Township,
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.
Records requested:
Each township ordinance or citation adopting every mandate on the pre-inspection checklist attached to the resale inspection application. Since the state law only requires a fire/carbon monoxide detector inspection for sale, it needs to be confirmed if these items are a civil rights violation.
NJ Construction Official Commentary states:
In the July 1997 edition of CODES AND STANDARDS vol.17, num.7 published by Kelly P. Reynolds & Associates, Chicago, IL, Mr. Reynolds states:
"If a code official, or any government agent, requires someone to do something that is more than the law requires, that can be interpreted as a violation of the U.S. Civil Rights Act of 1960. The Act (42 U.S.C. 1974) reinforces the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution (Bill of Rights) that protects from unlawful taking of private property. The courts have ruled that withholding permission to occupy property that complies with the law (code) is a civil rights violation. Triple damages may be awarded."
Yours faithfully,
Concerned Citizen
