Jacob Toby:

I received your OPRA request via email dated December 16, 2022 on December
19, 2022, as such, the seven (7) business day deadline to respond is
December 29, 2022.  I am responding to your request on the 1st business
day after receipt.

Your request sought access to the following record(s):

1 list of all vacant and abandoned properties

2  list of all properties in bankruptcy

3 list of all properties that are in foreclosure

4 list of all municipal held liens and do you assign municipal liens ?

The OPRA request is an invalid request as it is overly broad.

I will consider this OPRA request closed.

OPRA requests that fail to seek specific identifiable governmental records
or are overly broad, are invalid under OPRA pursuant to MAG Entertainment,
LLC v. Division of Alcoholic Beverage Control, 375 N.J. Super. 435 (App.
Div. 2005); Bent v. Stafford Police Department, 381 N.J. Super. 30 (App.
Div. 2005; New Jersey Builders Association v. New Jersey Council on
Affordable Housing, 390 N.J. Super. 166 (App. Div. 2007)’ and Schuler v.
Borough of Bloomsbury, GRC Complaint No. 2007-151 (February 2009). See
Petrelli v. Branchburg Board of Education, GRC Complaint No. 2010-13
(March 2011)

If your request for access to a government record has been denied or
unfilled within the seven (7) business days required by law, you have a
right to challenge the decision by the Borough of Far Hills to deny
access. At your option, you may either institute a proceeding in the
Superior Court of New Jersey or file a complaint with the Government
Records Council (GRC) by completing the Denial of Access Complaint Form. 
You may contact the GRC by toll-free telephone at 866-850-0511, by mail at
P.O. Box 819, Trenton, NJ, 08625, by e-mail at [1][email address], or
at their web site at [2]www.state.nj.us/grc. The GRC can also answer other
questions about the law.  All questions regarding complaints filed in
Superior Court should be directed to the Court Clerk in your County.

Very truly yours,

Dorothy S. Hicks, RMC, QPA, CMR, MBA
