Use on non-municipality building inspector

The request was successful.

Dear New Jersey Department of Community Affairs, Division of Codes and Standards,

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:

First:
A list of all licensed building inspectors in Union City, North Bergen, Guttenberg, Weehawken, and West New York. I am not looking for the people listed as head of specific building departments. I am looking for all people in those departments who hold licenses.

Second:
The exact citation from the NJ law and codes which gives the guidelines for hiring a non-municipal inspector to perform an inspection on a residence.

Please don't send me the link to your website. Not really helpful. Subsequently on July 7 I sent to you directly an OPRA request requesting the information above. I have not received answer.

I hope you will please honor this request and provide me with the information I am requesting.

Thank you in advance.

Yours faithfully,

Katia Domanska
